North of England Track and Field League
Heaton rejoined the North of England Track and Field league in 2007, and earned promotion two years in a row. We were in Division 2E for the 2009 season but ended up relegated back to Division 3E. The league is a combined men's and women's league, and in each match we are able to field two men and two women in each event, gaining points according to finishing positions in each event.
Athletes who are members of a club which does not compete in the Northern League, or one of the corresponding national or regional leagues, are able to join another club, such as Heaton, second-claim and compete for them in the league. However, to be eligible in any season, the athlete or club needs to submit a Higher Competition claim form by March 1st of that year.
Available events in the league matches are:
100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m (women only), 3000m steeplechase (men only), 5000m (men only).
100m hurdles (women only), 110m hurdles (men only), 400m hurdles, 4 x 100m relay, 4 x 400m relay.
Hammer, Shot, Discus, Javelin, Pole Vault, Long jump, High jump, Triple jump.
The Heaton Harriers Athletics Cup has been revived. This trophy was issued each year during our previous stint in the league, when it was just a men's league, to the Heaton athlete who scored most points over the course of the season. There are now separate men's and women's trophies. List of winners:
