Track & Field

Our junior members carry on the club tradition of competing in Track & Field competitions. Here are the age-group club records last updated in 2018.

We provide them with opportunity to represent Harriers and compete in a range of competitive local, regional and national events including both team competitions and individual championships. There are also locally-hosted track meetings through the summer and details will be posted of those when available. (Useful links are: West Yorkshire Athletics League and the York Summer League)

All athletes will have an account on the Power of 10 website and individual results from every official competition will be uploaded.  It is worth checking out your PBs and what the competition is up to!  There is also the Amateur Athletics Association (AAA) standards to aspire to.  Click here to view the AAA standards booklet for 2019-20.

A lot of our junior members also compete for their schools in the English Schools Athletics Association (ESAA) track and field individual and cup competitions.  Results are available on the ESAA website shortly after competitions.

As an affiliated club, we compete in the UK Youth Development League (YDL) athletics league promoted by England Athletics. The athletes enjoy mixing with and competing at different track venues against athletes from across the North East of England.
