Team Isle of Man opened their Northern League season with a dominant victory at Leigh on Saturday, despite travelling with a smaller squad than usual.
The event also featured a moment of history as the league staged its first mixed 4x100m relay, won impressively by Meghan Pilley, Daniel Stewart‑Clague, Lydia Morris and Ben Sinclair.
Across the event, Manx athletes delivered strong results. Highlights included Aimee Christian missing her own Isle of Man 400m hurdles record by just 0.01 seconds with 63.9, and close contests in the jumps, where Jess Schreuder edged teammate Ewelina Hand in the triple jump by a single centimetre, 10.14m to 10.13m.
Other notable performances included:
- Ben Sinclair running 50.5 in the 400m and jumping 6.07m in the long jump.
- Meghan Pilley clocking 12.5 and 25.5 in the 100m and 200m.
- Dawn Atherton setting a PB of 5:24.3 in the 1500m.
- Jordan Cain running 16:29.7 in the 5,000m.
