The results of the final NWLL fixture held at Brent Valley park last weekend took a while so a belated congrats to Zack Atek for winning the U17’s race and Joseph Tarling a very strong 4th. In the U13 girls races another super run from twins Katie and Beth Dalton who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively with the team winning the league title – well done girls!
Senior athlete Jim Cooper was away racing cross country at the Police Service champs winning his age group and placing a super 12th overall in the race.
On Saturday it was the turn of both senior and junior athletes racing the combined UK Cross Challenge and Inter Counties championships at Wollaton Park, Nottingham.
In the senior men’s race Neil Johnston was 21st, Terry Fawden 24th and Luke Dinsmore 65th and in the women’s race Robyn McKee finished 36th. Julio Calvino-Palomares finished 89th in the U20’s mens race and Sofia Latham had a storming run giving it her all (have a look on the YouTube coverage!) to finish 26th in 21:23 in the U20 womens race. Another fine performance came via Amae Van Zyl as she finished 46th in a field of almost 300 runners whilst the Dalton twins were busy again racing the u13s event with Katie finishing 47th and Beth coming home 74th although only 17s separated them such was the tight packing in the field of 298 – well done all of you.
