Lee Wilkinson
Lee began running in the early 90s and soon got into multi events training. He found high jump to be his best event, and twice won the North East Championships for his age group. However, after a car crash, he was unable to compete for a while. On his return to training, unable to find the form he had previously, he found motivation difficult, until recently.
Lee joined Heaton Harriers in September 2006, originally just to keep fit, but soon found himself entering competitions again. He now enjoys doing all events from sprints to the marathon distance, but especially enjoys the track and field league, where he will give anything a go, and the whole club comes together as a team to support each other.
