On Saturday, Niamh Adams represented Northumberland at the English Schools XC Championships at the pictureque Wollaton Park, Nottingham. Having earned selection as a result of her superb performances over the winter, Niamh proudly lined up alongside nearly 350 of the best athletes from all over the country in the junior girls race.
Niamh put in a fine performance, recording a time of 14:43 over the 3.5km course, which was a stellar peformance. Niamh loved the experience and will no doubt be inspired to achieve even more in the future.
On Wednesday, the Winter Series concluded, with Dexter Heatley 2nd runner home with a time of 16:41. Niamh Adams was one of the fastest on the night with 16:04, as was George Bryce with 15:51. Evan Falkous produced a great run, recording a time of 18:23

NEYDL
We are just 5 weeks away from the start of the NEYDL season! The season kicks off at Monkton Stadium, Jarrow, and is open to athletes in the U13,U15 and U17 age groups. We would love to have as many of you there as possible, as its a fantastic team event. Please let your coach know if you intend to compete, or feel free to ask any questions. We don’t need to finalise events etc just yet, but it would be great to have an idea on numbers. We also need volunteers and officials, otherwise we cannot take part in the league. Contact Dan for more details, or check out www.teamblyth.com/neydl
