An outstanding performance by the U17 women who finished in second place in the English National XC Championships at Parliament Hill today.  This tops an exceptional season in which they have already won the Warwickshire and Midlands Championships.  The individual placings were Katie Ingle (8th), Megan McBrien (21st), Rebecca Robinson (28th) and Gabrielle Kinney (42nd).

We also had runners competing in the U15 girls and boys age groups.  For the U15 girls Elemena Saunders finished in a superb 20th place, Elizabeth Ward was 196th, Molly Rees was 205th and Sophie Karksi was 210th.  The team was 20th.  For the U15 boys Alfie McBrien was 98th, Shaun Evans was 123rd and Jerome Austin was 197th.

Well done to all our runners.  The provisional results are available here.  Video coverage of the races is available on the athleticos website here.

We’re staying up!!!  A fantastic performance by the whole team meant we climbed out of the relegation zone on an exciting final day of racing at Cheltenham.

We scored 462 points on the day (over 100 points better than in any of the previous races) , with our six counters all finishing in the top 100.  That meant we finished 13th on the day and 13th in the league (above OWLs, Warwick Uni and Cannock & Staffs).  The B team finished a brilliant 3rd on the day and 7th in the league.

Well done to everyone who has competed during the season – a great team effort!  The results are available here.
