In July 2006, Kilty won the English Schools (national) Championship in 100 meters in the Intermediate age group (under 17) with a time of 11.0, when the championship was held in Gateshead. He repeated as champion at the Senior level (age 17–18) in July 2007, winning in 10.73. [Note: Schoolboys are limited to a single event (plus a relay), because of the huge number of athletes who compete in the Championships each summer.] Kilty was then named as a captain of the GB team at the 2008 IAAF World Juniors in Bydgoszcz, where he made the semi-finals of his favoured 200 meters. But his progress stalled a little as he trained alone in Middlesbrough before moving to London in 2011 to train under the tutelage of coach Linford Christie, to include winter training in Arizona in early 2012.

During the 2012 indoor season, Kilty lowered his 60m best to 6.61 seconds, at Birmingham on 4 February 2012. But he had to cut short his indoor season after picking up a slight hamstring problem, saying “I felt I was in shape to run 6.5” and compete at the Aviva Indoor Grand Prix in Birmingham. Then at an early season outdoor meet in the United States, Kilty set a new personal bests in both the 100 and 200 meters, clocking 10.23 and 20.50 seconds respectively at the Sun Angel Classic meet in Tempe, Arizona on 7 April 2012. His time bettered the “A” qualifying standard (20.51) for the upcoming London Olympics (in early August), while his 100m time was just inside the “B” standard of 10.24. However, he failed to improve on those early season marks. At the 2012 Aviva British National trials – held at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium, where athletes were selected for the London Olympics – Kilty entered only one event, the 200 meters, skipping the 100m. After running fourth-fastest in heats (21.09), he finished last (out of eight) in the 200m finals on 24 June, running only 21.15 seconds despite a blazing fast start. Afterwards he said a hamstring muscle “pulled” during the Finals race.

In October 2013, British Athletics’ restored Kilty’s funding – but only at the lower level of “Podium Potential”. Nonetheless, the lottery funding allowed him to shift his training to the English Midlands, joining the British Athletics High Performance Athletics Centre (HiPAC) at Loughborough University so that he could train, full-time, with elite-level athletes under coach Rana Reider, with friend and fellow Teesside long jumper Chris Tomlinson. While acknowledging the strong local support he had received in northeast England, Kilty said the move south to the Loughborough HiPAC was necessary because of the lack of elite-level sprinters with which to train in Teesside. A late 2013 winter training camp in South Africa also greatly improved Kilty’s fitness and attitude towards the sport.
