Fourteen year old Alex Catherwood equalled the North Down Indoor Womens high jump record on Saturday while guesting at Jordanstown in a joint QUB/UU indoor meeting. Alex jumped 1.55m, a height previously jumped by Hannah Lewis and Kerrie Craig. Hannah and Kerrie were also very young when they jumped these heights but Alex looks to be the one to take the event forwards. Considering the total lack of technical work done in this severe winter, Alex was dubious about competing at the forthcoming Odyssey event but Saturday shows she is in excellent condition.
Stephen Loughlin also competed in the high jump and long jump, with performances of 1.70m and 5.45m respectively..Kathy Hetherington was the class of the womens shot and added 1cm to her indoor pb to win with 9.50m
