February 2015 – Chiltern Cross Country League

Harrow’s senior men finished the Chiltern League season with a strong team performance at Teardrops Lake, Milton Keynes, taking third spot, but earlier results meant that they could finish only fifth overall.

Alan Wray was third over-40 veteran, in 20th spot, while Philip Benson completed a good Chiltern League season in 31st place.

Chris Finill clinched the individual over-50 title, placing 44th overall, while Mark Cursons, in 57th, took over 50 silver. Danny Skeffington was fourth over 50 in 69th.

Laurance Edwards and Sam Bickerstaff finished an excellent fourth and fifth, respectively, in the under-13 race to lead Harrow to fifth team place. Matthew Crow was a very good fifth in the under-11 race.

Amy Concannon finished a good 25th in the senior women’s race while Katie Watkins finished fourth overall in the under-20 classification.

January 2015 – Middlesex Counties

Harrow AC fielded 26 athletes at the Middlesex Counties.

In support and bringing the team home in 3rd place were Sam Bickerstaff (8th), Chris Morris, Mughilan Muralitharan and Abishek Shreeharan.

The U13 girls also performed very well, finishing in 4th as a team with Sophie Peters, Sally Tremlett andAnya Freely all showing good promise for 2015.

For the seniors, there were very good results for Emily Antcliffe and Nicky Ashe, both running well at present.

Also battling the rain and mud, Alan Wray continued with his post-bike crash comeback to finish an impressive 16th, just ahead of Jim Cooper in 20th.

Ellen Rose-Senior and Katie Watkins finished 2nd and 4th, respectively, in the Junior Ladies. Jonathan Collier continued to show his strength, finishing in 6th for the Junior men ahead of Sam Fenn, doing well in 15th.
