Excellent Turnout at North Wales Championships

It was great to see so many of North Wales’ athletes taking part in last weekends Regional Track and Field Championships and also to see an abundance of fantastic performances by a number of individuals.
The day kicked off with a closely contested 3000m race that was eventually won by Deeside’s Ricky Challinor in a very decent time of 9 minutes and 12 seconds.
The sprint hurdles events are always well represented every year, and this again was the case. Michael Craig of Bangor secured the gold medal in the 110m hurdles with a splendid time of 17.8s, with Megan Roberts of Wrexham edging the women’s 80m hurdles event in a time of 12.1s.
The Senior Men’s 800m race turned out to be a cracker, with some excellent times produced. Bangor’s Fabian Downs smashed the two minute barrier by clocking 1min 57. He just out sprinted Lee Jones of Deeside who was a second behind in 1min 58. The bronze medal went to Wrexham’s Chris Bailey who completed the 2-lap event in 2-01. The final of the Under 13 girls 800m went right down to the wire with all 6 finalists putting in good displays. Eventual winner Georgia Bates of Deeside will be pleased with her time of 2-47.
Thirteen athletes took to the track for the Under 11 girls 600m. The talented Nia Jones of Wrexham grabbed the gold, with Maisy Blake of Ynys Mon taking silver.
The 100m events churned out some thrilling contests on the day. Bradley Williams (Deeside) narrowly snatched gold in the senior men’s event after powering to a time of 11.2 seconds.
0.4 of a second separated 4 runners in the Under 13 girls 100m. Beth Sargent, also of Deeside won by a whisker ahead of Colwyn Bays Elin Jones.
Like I mentioned earlier it was great to see so many of North Wales’ athletes taking part and supporting the regional championships. This excellent turnout just shows what potential and talent we already have here in the North. I have included the full Track results from the day below for you to look through,starting with the 3000m and ending with the 200m finals and 1500m walk.
