Sunday saw a number of Harrow AC athletes compete in the Moor Park fun run.
Harrow AC boys were first in U10 s, U12 s and U15 s and we also had second places in U12Gs, U15Gs and U15Bs. This wasn’t a Club fixture but comes under the category of an event that a number of our athletes compete in.
Congratulations to Laurance Edwards, Alex Bickerstaff and Arinze Ofurum on winning their races!
The North West London League kicked off on Saturday with Harrow being represented in every age group except U17 boys.
The result of the day for Harrow was Louis Hunt 1st in the U13 boys race. Having led for 95% of the race he held on till the end despite being closely chased by Luca Stubbs (previously Shaftesbury now running for St Albans School). The determination from both boys, who are both NWLL champions at U11, was evident.
U13 boys & girls and U11 girls teams all finished in 3rd place. Well done to all the runners who ran for Harrow for the first time, they all ran really well.
Michelle Rowlands has kindly agreed to continue with the spike exchange scheme for athletes to exchange spikes at Bannister this Wednesday night.
