U20 Women
Sophie Bronze held her own in a really strong and competitive field where just a couple of hundred points split the top 15 going into the 800m. In the 800m she took the race out and went for broke to try and get a PB score. Her 2.39 800m followed a strong shot putt close to her pb, solid high jump and long jump markers and a good run in the hurdles. Overall she finished with 3267 points and 8th place.
U23 Women
Lucy Turner made her debut in senior combined events and took 4th overall picking up a silver medal in the U23 championships and a bronze medal in the northern championships. With three indoor PBs along the way and a pb score overall by nearly 300 points she broke her own club pentathlon record. With 3712 points Lucy came extremely close to challenging for a GB spot missing out by just 50 points
U23 Men
Gateshead Harrier’s Anthony Hogg took part alongside Gateshead based training partners. Aiden Davies, James Finney and Harry Maslen. After a strong day 1 including an equal pb 60m and a big shot putt pb Anthony was sat in 3rd in the U23 age group but withdrew before the hurdles on day 2 as a precaution after feeling pain from a recurring groin injury. This left James, Aiden and Harry to battle it out. With all three making the U23 podium and Aiden getting the win and GB selection.
