When I arrived at the course just after 9am the sun was shining and the course quite good apart from the entrance to the woods, where a mass of water made for a tricky 20/30 metres in ankle-deep water.

By the time the first race started at 10.45am the forecast heavy rain had arrived along with strong winds, and the temperature plummeted. This made for very difficult running conditions but our runners never let all this get the better of them. Some excellent racing from our athletes yielded three top 16 finishes plus another two teams in the thirties. The starting fields in the young athlete races were in excess of 100 teams.

Results

The final race in the three-match league took place last week. With over 24 schools sending teams, ranging from under 11's to under 15's, nearly 400 competitors took part in the event each week. The first two races were held at our cross-country course at Claybury Park with the final league match at Ashton Playing Fields (on the grass perimeter) so that the awards ceremony could take place in our club house.
