North East Counties Athletics Association Championships – 11th/12th May 2024

By Brad Wight

The North East Counties champs were held at Middlesbrough Sports Village over the weekend of 11th and 12th May.

On Saturday Rory and William Hart were joined by Matty Richardson in the 1500m while Jess Montgomery raced over 800m as well as the 100m and 200m. Alex Hird raced in the senior mens 400m. Sunday action saw Matty and Alex return for the 800m, joined by Brad, and Jess compete over 300m where she progressed through her heat to make the final.

No medals for Crook this year but there were some stand out performances with both Jess and Matty setting new age group club records in the 800m. If the wind wasn’t over the legal limit Jess would’ve also had 100m and 200m club bests, her performances are even more impressive when you realise she’s the youngest in her age group, still only 12 but competing in the Under 15s due to the cut off falling near her birthday.
