October Update - Harrier League XC, Autumn Relays, and more!

Harrier League - Lambton Estate 25/10

It was another incredible day of XC action at the fantastic Lambton Estate event. 

Our U11 boys Bob, Henry and Cormac all produced really strong runs. In the U13 girls race, Liliana moved up to the fast pack for the first time, and ran superbly. Jack Ellis scored his best finish yet as an U13, finishing in a fine 25th place, with Theo Dixon and Tom Floyd following close behind in 29th & 33rd places respectively.

Our U15's were in great form. Jamie Floyd finished a wonderful 2nd, whilst Alastair Johnson recorded the 2nd fastest time of the day running from the fast pack.  Lucy Mason scored her best ever result, with 13th in the U15 girls. 

Dexter and George once again were at the sharp end in the U17 boys race, both in the top 6 of fastest times, and it was fantastic to see U20's Xara and Lilia Purvis make their XC debuts for the club, helping our senior ladies team to a strong team result.
