Greg Rutherford set a British Long Jump record with a leap of 8.30m (-0.3) in the qualifying round.

Additional Comments: Report edited. Weather warm and sunny, though cooler wind later. A long meeting (finished at 5.10pm), with surprisingly good entries in some events, that are not usually well supported. However, there was a distinct lack of Senior/Junior Women track competitors. There were not a lot of outstanding performances from local athletes. A good day for Beck Leckie. She won 60m heat (1.4w) and was third in 600m (2:08.84).

British Athletics League.
Gateshead International Stadium.  Sat. 1st Aug.
A gallant effort by Gateshead Harriers, saw them finish a creditable third at Saturday's British League Division 1 fixture at the International Stadium.
In a match which saw all eight positions, change regularly throughout the meeting, the Tyneside club were defeated on the day, by Belgrave and Windsorf, Slough & Eton.
Gateshead are still however in sixth place overall but have a six point cushion over Notts AC and Border, who look set for relegation after the final fixture, in 3 weeks time.
Gateshead had to wait until the last 90mins of the meeting before providing their three individual winners, all on the Field. Ade Babatunde won the Triple Jump shortly followed by a victory from Craig Sturrock.in the Shot
Sturrock also won the B Discus..
Ian Burns closed the meeting when winning the Javelin.
Track performances were affected by a strong headwind in the finishing straight.
Niall Flannery of Gateshead, edged out of a bronze medal in the recent European Junior Championships, finished a close second in the opening event, the 400m Hurdles. His older brother Kieran, then gained 2nd place in the 800m, behind National 1500m champion Jermaine Mays of Kent..
Richard Kilty finished 2nd in the 100m with Joe Kibirige taking third in the B race and later finishing  third in the 200m. Newcomer, Patrick Swan took 2nd in the 400m, with David Riley occupying a similar position in the B event. 
Andrew Sturrock also performed well to finish 3rd in the 110m Hurdles and 2nd in the B 400m Hurdles. World Championship representative Will Sharman of Belgrave won the sprint Hurdles  
Sadly Gateshead struggled for points in the longer track races.
Border's best performance came from the ever-reliable James Douglas who finished 2nd in the Steeplechase.
