North of England Junior Track and Field Championships.
South Leeds Stadium. Sat/Sun. 27th/28th May.
Blaydon throwers stole the honours for the region, at yesterday's second part of the North of England Junior Championships, at South Leeds Stadium. Tyne Breen won both the Discus and Shot in the Under 15 Girls' age-group. Clubmate Philip Brown won the Under 17 Shot and took second in the Discus with a series of personal best throws in each compoetition. Brown led all the way in the latter event, but was beaten on countback, by the final throw of Stockport's Greg Watkins.
The pair along with the region's leading Senior thrower, Lianne Tucker are coached by Tony Livingstone.
The North East's sole track success came in the final event, when Stacey Smith of Tynedale, winner in the Under 15 age-group two years ago, proved too quick in the finishing straight for her rivals in the Under 17 Girls' 800m. Middlesbrough athletes Yusuf Aliu and Adam Allison were beaten for gold by the narrowest of margins in the Under 17 100m and 400m respectively. Chloe Gill also of Middlesbrough, had to settle for second in the Under 15 Girls' Long Jump. Durham's Rebekah Wilmshurst, despite only qualifying as a fastest loser, was a close second in the Under 17 200m adding to her 100m bronze, 24 hours earlier. Bronze medals went to Carl Smith of Chester Le Street (Under 17 3000m), Rebecca Liddell of Gateshead (Under 15 75m Hurdles) and Rebecca Pottinger of Birtley (Under 17 High Jump).

North Eastern Counties A.A Track and Field Championships.
Gateshead International Stadium. Sat/Sun. 13th/14th May.
The cold conditions affected the performances at this weekend's North Eastern Counties Track and Field Championships ,at Gateshead International Stadium. Sprinters were on the whole assisted by the wind, on Saturday, but faced a strong headwind yesterday.
Newcastle University student, David Riley of Morpeth, the 1999 English Schools Junior 200m champion, gained the first Senior sprint treble for many years, taking the 400m and 100m titles on Saturday, and the 200m yesterday.
Brother and sister, Richard and Heidi Kilty of Gateshead gained sprint doubles in the Under 17 Men and Under 15 Girls age-groups respectively. Richard equalled his personal best, set up when finishing third in the 2005 English Schools event, when narrowly winning the 100m.
Gateshead's Lauren Arthur, the fastest female sprinter in action, won the Under 20 100m and 200m titles, setting new figures in the 200m. Gateshead's Jessica Read broke two records in the Under 13 age-group. She bettered the old figures in the Long Jump by a massive 45cms and against a strong wind, clipped the old record in her heat of the 100m. An even stronger wind put paid to any repeat performance in the final. Blaydon's Lianne Tucker gained four titles winning the Shot and Discus in both the Under 20 and Senior age-groups. Her Shot performance in the Junior age-group was also a championship best. Clubmate Tyne Breen also broke the record in the Under 15 Shot. Birtley's Katy Wilson bettered the old figures in the Under 20 Hammer. Julia Straker of Morpeth set new figures in the Senior Triple Jump, while Shildon's Melissa Carr broke Straker's old record in the Under 20 age-group.
Middlesbrough's Adebayo Babatunde added 11cms to the old record in the Under 20 Triple Jump and also took the Long Jump title. Gateshead's Sally Scott bettered her old figures in the Under 17 Pole Vault, and. Newcastle student, Sarah Dunkley improved the old figures in the Under 20 Javelin by over 4m.
Emma Morrris equalled the record in the Senior High Jump and also won the 200m and 100m Hurdles.
English Schools Cross Country champion, Kate Avery of Shildon clocked a personal best time to win the Under 15 Girls' 1500m. Shaun Moralee of Durham, one of the region's most consistent performers over the past 3 years, gained ample reward when winning a competitive Senior Mens' 1500m. He was presented with the trophy by local official, George Ogle, who won the equivalent title, 50 years ago. Gosforth's Lewis Timmins won an equally competitive Under 20 1500m, catching long-time leader, John Taylor of Middlesbrough on the line. Taylor gained some consolation winning the 3000m, 24hours later.
One of the most exciting races came in the Under 15 Girls' 800m, where Gateshead's Sigourney Bell caught Birtley's Steph Loraine who had opened up a 20m lead at one stage, with 40m remaining. Gateshead's Adam Rowland gained an impressive double victory in the Under 15 400m and 800m. Gateshead's Vicky Carmichael smashed her personal best time to win the Senior Womens' 400m. Elswick's Ashley Gibson won the 1500m coming home ahead of 5000m winner Rosie Smith of Durham.
British Universities' silver medallist, Andrew Teate of Middlesbrough won the Senior 800m, with Gateshead's Kieran Flannery retaining his Under 20 title.

Additional Comments: All info used but in small print. Division 2 results courtesy of Mike Bateman, Division 3 (Richard Hunter & Graham Hall). Gateshead (most of their points scored by the Women) last in Division 1 (courtesy of Tony Gardner). The fixture clash (a wonderful piece of planning by UK Athletics), severely weakened their male squad. More info to follow.Excellent run by Gina Rutherford at Carlisle. At an overcast Darlington, there were a lot of "unused points". All teams lacked the numbers. Sunderland fielded 4 Women and 4 Men.

Additional Comments: Only results sent due to time lapse. Weather bright and a lot milder. Some wind around as sprint times were slow. Good entry for 800m but not in 100m. Andrew Sturrock (sole competitor) injured himself in 110m Hurdles. Steeplechase not ran as only one competitor was entered. Only one team in male U15 4 x 100. Five in Womens' race with three teams from Gateshead (C team disqualified for fielding an athlete, who was a member of Morpeth an hour earlier). Excellent run for long-time leader, Vicky Carmichael in 800m. Meeting finished at 9.20pm. MoM awards went to Breen and Gaffney.

Additional Comments: Not used. Only results I could pick up at time, as most faces were unfamilier. 331 finishers (last time: 86:21). Course was by riverside. Quite fast but cold wind slowed runners. Would rather not comment on certain matters relating to this event. Picked up some official times from recorders but there was some variance with results, that later appeared on BMH website. Also second lady (from Darlington) who clocked 45mins exactly, not listed. Other times included (actual followed by website): R Sherwood 43:21 (18); I Barnes 49:35 (27); P Braney 54:25 (17); D Whitmore 54:31 (13); S Pailor 55:07 (54:32). B Cook was first M50 (40:51). Also 80 Allen Mulliss 45:32 (31).
In AW, L Noble of Darlington listed as 2nd lady in 43mins 58secs. 1st W55 was S Gibson (Darl) (46:41).
