Northumberland Athletes Star at Disability National Championships in Blackpool
One of Northumberland's Young Participants at this year's DSE ational Championships
The NPESS team would like to congratulate the nine Northumberland disabled athletes who were part of a successful North East regional team at the recent DSE National Championships held in Blackpool.
Athletes competed individually, and as a team, against track and field athletes from all of the other 8 regions of England, plus teams from Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
The Northumberland squad included young people with physical, hearing and visual impairments, and also learning difficulties, from both special and mainstream schools across the county.
All the athletes had previously beaten strict qualifying standards at the Wentworth county talent ID day and the Gateshead north east regionals and were supported in their appearance at the nationals by funding from schools, School Sport Partnerships and Northumberland Sport.
