Amy-Eloise Neale OLY (formerly Markovc; born 5 August 1995[1]) is a British middle- and long-distance runner. She won the gold medal in the 3000 metres at the 2021 European Indoor Championships.
Neale is a two-time British national champion.
In 2024, Neale chose to go by her birth name of Amy-Eloise Neale instead of Amy-Eloise Markovc.[2]
Career
[edit]Born in Stockport, England, she later moved to the United States and took up track and field. At the age of 14 she won the 2000 metres steeplechase at the 2010 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships. While studying at Glacier Peak High School, Neale was the Washington state Gatorade Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year for three years running (2011, 2012, 2013). Neale had top eight finishes each year at the Nike Cross Nationals from 2010 to 2012, with her highest finish being 3rd in 2010.[3]
Her international debut for Great Britain followed at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics, where she placed eleventh in the steeplechase final. Neale competed in her first major cross country running event at the 2013 World Cross Country Championships, placing 21st in the junior race. She was also a steeplechase finalist at the 2013 European Junior Championships and 2014 World Junior Championships. After the latter event she did not compete for 18 months.[4]
In 2016, she began to compete again for the Washington Huskies track team for her alma mater, the University of Washington. She took eighth place at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships.
The following year, Neale made the final in the mile at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships. In the outdoor track season, she made the 1500 metres final at the NCAA Division I Championships. It was in cross country that she began to make an impact in 2017, becoming the runner-up at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. Neale then placed fourth in the under-23 race at the European Cross Country Championships, earning U23 women's team title.
Her focus returned to the track in 2018, with highlights including twelfth in the 3000 metres at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships and fifth in the 5000 metres at the NCAA Division I Championships.[5] Later that year, she signed with the Reebok Boston Track Club under coach Chris Fox.
In 2019, Neale secured her first national podium at the British Indoor Athletics Championships with third in the 3000 m.[6]
In February 2021, she broke the British two mile record at New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in New York, completing the distance in 9:30.69.[7] In March that year, Neale won the gold medal in the 3000 m at the European Indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland in a personal best time of 8:46.43.[8]
In 2022, she claimed her first national title with a 3000 m victory at the British Indoor Championships and outdoors added second title for the 5000 m.[1] Neale set new personal bests in the 3000 m, 5000 m, 10,000 m, 5 km road race and half marathon that year.[9]
