2016 English Athletics, North East Region awards
The annual England Athletics Regional Awards ceremony took place at the historic venue of Lumley Castle last week with Middlesbrough AC (Mandale) scooping two out of the three awards that they were shortlisted for there was also an award for one of Middlesbrough’s newest running clubs Swift Tees.
The first award the club received was for Project of the Year. The award was for their “Fantastic Four” project. The brainchild of club coach and official Marino Danilowicz the competition provides opportunities for young athletes aged 11 and under to compete on a regular basis in a run, jump, throw competition. With medals awarded at each meeting and an overall series winner at the end of each season the competition has grown from its small beginnings in 2015 to now attracting young athletes from all over the north east region.
The competition has been held both indoors with the support of Macmillan Academy and outdoors with the support of Middlesbrough Sports Village over the last 12 months.
Receiving the award for on behalf of Middlesbrough AC were Marino Danilowicz and club official and event organiser Kate Brazukas. Mr Danilowicz said of the award “I really was shocked when I heard that the Fantastic Four had been shortlisted and even more shocked to find out we had won”, he added “this competition has only been made possible the through the support of the Sports Village and Macmillan Academy over our first 12 months and all the volunteer officials who help me at these competitions and I would personally like to thank them all for their support”.
The second award for Middlesbrough AC was the prestigious Club of the year title.
Up against stiff competition from local north east rivals and previous winners Morpeth Harriers and Gateshead Harriers the award panel thought that the overall season of Middlesbrough AC teams and having no fewer than 7 athletes selected for various international duties and two youngsters winning national titles was enough to take the award.
With three teams competing in various leagues and age groups across the North of England all three squads gained promotion from their respective divisions in 2016 winning their league titles along the way.
The under 13 and under 15 teams won three of their four matches finishing second in the final match to win promotion to the Northern Premier Division 2 for 2017. The under 20 and under 17 teams were competing in division 2 east and also won three of their 4 matches to take the overall title and win promotion to Division 1 East for 2017. The final team the senior men’s and women’s team were competing in Division 3 of the Northern League and like their younger counterparts won three out of four matches to win the league title and gain promotion to Division 2 for 2017.
The 7 club athletes selected in 2016 for representative duties were Richard Kilty (Olympic Games-4×100 metre relay), Charlie Myers (World Junior Championships – Pole Vault), Joshua Cowperthwaite, Daniel Currie (England Cross Country), Philippa Stone, Sam Griffin and Sam Day (England North cross country and track).
The club also provided 20 of the members of this year’s Cleveland Schools team for the English Schools Championships and three representatives (Steven Wheater, Jasmine Clark and Ella Maxwell) being selected for the North East team at the UK School games in early September.
