Blyth athletes star at Scottish Championships
Competing in the U15 boys Pentathlon on Saturday, Luke Pichler set an all-time championship best in the hurdles, and recorded PB's in the long jump, high jump, 800m and shot as he stormed to a convincing victory, becoming Scottish National Champion for the second time and placing himself at the top of the UK rankings.
Team Blyth had two athletes taking part in the U15 girls pentathlon. Abigail Huntly produced superb PB's in the hurdles and shot, however she was restricted by injury which curtailed her day.
