Teesside youngsters have been in impressive form on the indoor circuit.
English Schools champion Charlie Myers (Middlesbrough AC), continued where he left off his outdoor season by smashing his personal best in the pole vault and the vault Manchester competition.
Chasing the qualifying height for this summer’s European Junior Championships of 5.15 metres, Myers improved his own personal best of 5.00 metres to 5.10 metres before narrowly missing 5.15 metres.
Elsewhere Amy Carr and Plamedi Mukendi were setting personal bests galore at the Comm Sport open meeting held at Sheffield.
Carr (Middlesbrough AC) took over a tenth of a second off her best in the disability 60 metres running 9.55 seconds, before returning to record three personal bests in the long jump with a final distance of 3.69 metres.
That moved the teenager to within striking distance of the British Athletics qualifying distance for the World Championships of 4.00 metres.
In her first race representing her new club Mukendi (Gateshead Harriers) followed her encouraging performance at Gateshead in November with a fine win and personal best in the Under-15 girls’ 60 metres.
Mukendi drew clear of the field winning the race in a time of 8.09 seconds.
Myers and Mukendi are among the athletes due to compete at the North of England indoor Championships at Sheffield in two weeks’ time.
