Riverside, Chester Le Street. Sun. 29th July.
The region's clubs were unable to match the strength of their
Scottish rivals, at yesterday's final National Junior League Tyne

performances on the track, with the best results coming on the Field.
International Schools champion, Chloe Gill (Tees Valley) won her
speciality Triple Jump and the Long Jump. Graeme Level (Tyne and Wear)
gained an impressive victory in the Hammer.

(Newcastle Journal: All of info used. Due to lateness did
not submit report on Gateshead meeting. Weather dry and bright getting
warmer as meeting progressed. News of Murray courtesy of Bill McGuirk,
hotfoot from Cleckheaton. This was double header, which
fell behind timetable early on. Recovered as there was only one 3000m
(3 Girls). Although later getting a little behind, there were no
Steeplechasers and only five Long Relay teams which meant meeting
finished at 5.05pm. Match 1 results courtesy of Graham Hall and Match 2

A weakened Gateshead squad had to settle for second place in
Saturday's Semi Final of the British League 10-event Cup at Derby.

undecided whether they will contest the main final or the Plate final,
leaving a doubt as to the further participation of the Tyneside squad.

Northumberland Coastal Run.
Beadnell to Alnmouth. Sun. 15th July.
Alnwick Harrier David Kirkland was a popular winner of his own
club's 28th Northumberland Coastal Run, yesterday. Conditions
were bright and warm for the 800 competitors, who set out on the 14M
route from Beadnell Harbour to Alnmouth Estuary.
Kirkland waited until the closing stages, before dropping his
nearest rival, new Morpeth recruit Lewis Timmins opening up a 40m lead
at RAF Boulmer (12M).
The advantage was extended to over a minute at the finishing line,
while third place went to the leading veteran, Phil Walker of Blaydon.
Amy Green of Keighley, also successful in 2004, easily won the
Womens' race from Darlington's Susie Rutherford. Nicola May of Carnegie
finished 3rd.

Sainsbury's English
Schools Track and Field Championships.
Alexander Park,
Birmingham. Fri/Sat. 13th/14th
July.
The region's
athletes had arguably one of their largest medal hauls, at this
year's Sainsbury's 77th English Schools Track and Field
Championships at Alexander Park, Birmingham.
There were contrasting conditions, with driving
rain throughout on Friday, but bright sunshine with a slight breeze on
Saturday.
Northumberland took four gold medals in the
space of 3 hours on Saturday afternoon.
Rebecca Liddell (Royal Grammar, Newcastle)
easily won the Junior Girls' 75m Hurdles clocking personal best times
in the heat (11.28) and final. Niall Flannery also from Royal Grammar,
had to work harder than expected, to take the Intermediate 400m Hurdles
title. Ross Murray (St Thomas More, Tynemouth), proved too strong
for the oppositon on the final lap to win the Intermediate
1500m. Laura Weightman (Duchess School, Alnwick) then took the
equivalent Girls title pulling away from her great rival Kate Avery of
Durham in the final 100m, both athletes clocking personal best times..
Durham gained three gold medals including two in
Relays.
Samantha Coleby (Framwellgate Moor) came with a
late run, to overhaul long time leader Rose Reynolds of Berkshire, who
misjudged the final Hurdle.
Coleby, in her first season in the
event, shaved over half-a-second off her previous best time, set
when winning the Northern championship.
The Durham squad of Vicki Holmes, Lauren Arthur,
Lorna McMichael and Rebekka Wilmshurst easily won the Senior Relay.
They also won the Intermediate Relay thanks to Kate Blaylock, Nicola
Pearson, Laura Welsh and a tremendous final leg from Faye Bowles.
Cleveland's Richard Kilty, Intermediate champion
in 2006, easily won the Senior 100m.
He also anchored his county to third place in
the Relay.
Andrew Stanton of Durham gained a well deserved
silver medal in the Senior 800m clocking just inside his personal best
time.
Northumberland picked up another three bronze
medals, through Gina Rutherford (Senior 800m also a personal best),
Lauren Dewdney (Senior 100m Hurdles) and Sally Scott (Intermediate Pole
Vault).
Cumbria took two silver medals through Sam Coe
in the Senior Hammer and Fell Running specialist Laura Park in the
Intermediate 3000m.
There were also
bronze medals gained on Friday, from Durham's Melissa Carr (Senior
Triple Jump), Katy Wilson (Senior Hammer) and Chloe Gill (Intermediate
Triple Jump) and Northumberland's Tim Parkin (Intermediate Pole Vault).
Gill, who jumped a
personal best distance, along with Weightman and Avery will
represent England in this weekend's International event at Newport.

Enclosed e-mail sent to Journal editor on 14th
July:
Just to mention two snippets which
appeared in "Shorts" this week. They were probably sent by a coach or
friend.
An article on Wednesday said two
Gateshead Harriers Melissa Carr and Sally Scott would be
competing in English Schools Championships.
a: Carr's first claim club is Shildon
b: Gateshead Harriers provided at
least 20 competitors for either Northumberland, Durham or Cleveland.
They gained four gold medals, Richard Kilty, Niall Flannery, Ross
Murray and Rebecca Liddell and from Relay teams, Nicola Pearson, Laura
Welsh, Vicki Holmes and Lauren Arthur. There were also some minor
medallists.
Secondly an article yesterday said
Gateshead's Katy Wilson gained a bronze medal. Wilson's first
claim club is Birtley and there were actually 4 bronze medallists.

He admitted they performed well with a weaker team than usual. Chris
Sampson clocked 9mins 23.69secs to finish 4th in Steeplechase, running
as a guest. Andrew Teate mad a rare appearance over the barriers to
finish 4th in B race (10:27.26). Surprisingly no wind speeds were
provided with sprint results.

Veterans A.A - North East Track and
Field Championships.
Monkton Stadium, Jarrow. Sat. 6th July.
The windy conditions affected performances at Saturday's Veterans
A.A - North East Championships at Jarrow. Not surprisingly most of the
records set were in the Field events. Les Atkinson of Morpeth, however
bettered the old figures in the Over 50 1500m by 1sec.
John Wild of Richmond and Zetland set new records in the Over 55
Discus, Hammer and Weight Throw. Terry Hudson of Jarrow and Hebburn
bettered the old figures in the Over 60 Shot and Hammer. Though
restricted to competing in three events, Sunderland's Denis Field
improved his own figures in the Over 75 Discus.
Dave Dixon of Tynedale set a new record in the Over 45 Triple Jump.
Arguably the best performances of the day came from Tynedale's
Steph White who won the Over 45 400m, 300m Hurdles, Long Jump and
Triple Jump.
David Butler of Jarrow and Hebburn also won four titles, in the
Over 65 100m, 200m, High Jump and Long Jump.
