West Yorkshire have qualified three of their four teams for the United Kingdom Sportshall Athletics finals at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham on Sunday, April 3.

The under-13 girls, under-13 boys and under-15 boys all came first in the Yorkshire Regional Norwich Union finals at North Bridge Leisure Centre in Halifax.

The girls’ under-15 team were West Yorkshire’s only non-qualifiers and, despite four of their seven-strong team dropping out for various reasons in the week leading up to the event, they still came third, winning seven individual medals.

Among the under-15 boys, Leon Greenwood was overall individual all-rounder champion, while the under-13 girls won their competition by a massive 165 points, ahead of North Yorkshire.

All 12 West Yorkshire team members came home with at least one medal and had a total of 17 individual medals and they won gold in all four relays.

Denholme’s Rebekah Tiler was just one centimetre off the national record in the vertical jump with a leap of 72cm and is looking to gain gold again in this event, as she did in the national final last year. Chloe Tindale was second overall in the individual all-rounder competition for under-15 girls, while every member of the 12-strong under-13 boys’ team won at least one medal, beating Humberside into second place by 127 points, with North Yorkshire third.

The under-13 boys’ team won 17 individual medals and won all four relays.

The under-15 boys’ team came first, beating North Yorkshire into second place by 96 points. Will Gibson was second and Harry Ellis third in the individual all-rounder competition, completing a West Yorkshire clean sweep.

The team won 12 individual medals and took gold in two of the relays.
