NORTHERN INDOOR T & F CHAMPIONSHIPS
On the same early-January weekend that the club’s endurance section competed at Tatton Park in the penultimate fixture of the winter MACCL Cross Country season, Sale Harriers athletes were creating golden moments across the Pennines at the Northern Athletics Indoor Championships in Sheffield. Several athletes also secured qualification for the British Indoor Championships in Birmingham in mid-February.
ANDY ROBERTSON claimed his 3rd Northern 60m Title: Now competing in the V35 category, this Sale Harrier’s Life Member has enjoyed an illustrious 25-year career with the club, representing Great Britain & Northern Ireland at World, European and Commonwealth Games Championships.
STEPHANIE JONES became Senior Long Jump Champion for the 3rd consecutive year with a jump of 6.16m. Already a double U20 champion and silver medallist, she now ranks No. 1 in the UK.
ANNABEL AMADIN won her 1st senior Northern title with a shot put of 14.07m.(4kg).Arguably, no one has Annabel’s record of Northern championship titles. She’s secured all three U20 indoor titles, alongside U17 and U15 indoor crowns and multiple outdoor titles.
ALEX PARKINSON became the Northern 60m Hurdles Champion with a PB of 8.30s. This ranks him 6th in the UK, his highest ever ranking to date.
DANIEL WELLS became the U17 Long Jump Champion with a PB of 6.28m. This ranks him 11th nationally. He’s also the 2025 Long Jump Bronze medallist and 2023 U13 Champion.
FREYA DOCKERTY was crowned the Senior 60mH Champion:This is an especially impressive achievement after earlier competing in the 60m. This victory adds to her 2025 indoor silver medal and 2024 Northern Indoor Championship title.
TESS Mc HUGH won the 200m Silver medal: A positive warm-up for the club’s 400m specialist ahead of her main summer championship goals. She narrowly missed a personal best.
NICHOLAS WALSH won the 60m Silver medal and added it to the 100m Northern title he won earlier in the summer. Nicholas has represented Sale Harriers for almost a decade.
JOSHUA DOYLE won the U20 Triple jump Bronze medal with a PB of 12.77m.This was a great performance that ranks him 6th in the UK – his highest ever ranking
JACOB LINGARD won the Senior 400m Bronze medal. This was his first indoor championship final – a great result for the club’s stalwart.
MOLLY MILLS won the U20 400m Bronze medal with a PB of 57.82. Purely an experimental training run for Britain’s No.1 U17 Heptathlon champion.
Congratulations to all the athletes and coaches involved, with special recognition for Sale Harriers coaches –KEITH HUNTER, BOB GAISIE, ALEX WORT, JESS TAYLOR-JEMMETT, GLENN WILLSHIRE, DAVID LOWE, JOHN SMITH.
