At Gosforth Harriers, we love highlighting the exceptional achievements of our athletes, and for this month’s Harrier of the Month, we’re honoured to recognise not one, but two outstanding individuals: Emma Ashman and Millie Moat. These talented athletes have set the bar high with their recent performances, embodying the spirit of resilience and dedication that defines our team.
Emma Ashman: A Junior Captain Worth Admiring
Emma, our Junior Captain, has showcased remarkable consistency and perseverance throughout her running career. This month, she achieved an extraordinary milestone: representing Northumberland at the National Schools Cross Country Championships for the fifth consecutive year. Her continued commitment to excellence is nothing short of inspiring, demonstrating the power of hard work and leadership.
In addition to her selection for Northumberland’s team at the Schools’ Nationals, Emma also earned a spot on the North Eastern XC County Team, competing at the prestigious National Inter Counties XC Championships in Wollaton Park, Nottingham. Emma’s dedication to her sport is an example for aspiring athletes everywhere.
Millie Moat: Resilience in Action
Millie’s journey back to competitive running is a testament to her resilience. After a challenging 15-month injury layoff, Millie made her return to the sport in March 2024, and her progress has been nothing short of remarkable. Her determination paid off as she qualified for the North Eastern XC County Team, alongside Emma, and competed in the National Inter Counties XC Championships.
But Millie didn’t stop there. She went on to represent Northumberland at the National Schools Cross Country Championships in Ardingly, West Sussex. Millie’s unwavering dedication to her sport is an inspiration to us all, proving that setbacks can lead to incredible comebacks.
A Well-Deserved Spotlight
Emma and Millie’s achievements highlight the values we cherish at Gosforth Harriers: passion, resilience, and excellence. Their hard work and determination inspire their teammates and the entire community. We couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments and are thrilled to honor them as our Harriers of the Month.
Congratulations, Emma and Millie, on your remarkable achievements! The entire Gosforth Harriers family celebrates your success and looks forward to your continued brilliance.
