Intercounties XC - Full Report!

Last weekend, five of our juniors had been selected to represent Northumberland Schools at the School’s Inter Counties cross country champs held at Sedburgh, Cumbria. On a hilly, wet and muddy course all five performed admirably. Sam Porter and Dylan McAteer finishing 22nd and 42nd respectively in the Minor boys 2.8k race. In the Intermediate boys 4.5k event Dexter Heatley finished a courageous 54th after almost not running due to illness, George Bryce ran a solid race to finish 27th and 7th Northumberland counter. Also in the Intermediate boys Alastair Johnson had a remarkable run, finishing 7th overall and 1st Northumberland runner home. Now we wait to see if either Alastair and George are selected to run for Northumberland at the national championships.
