Cardiff Cross Challenge Victory

Two of our young athletes made the long journey to Cardiff at the weekend for the penultimate round of this years British Athletics Cross Challenge Series.  It was a fairly flat course around Blackweir Fields with conditions relatively dry which made for some very fast running.  Alex Thompson continued his winning streak with a second victory in the series, with Sam Smith not far behind in third place also gaining a medal.  Both will now contest the final which takes place as part of the 2017 Inter-Counties race at Loughborough on March 11th where both could be in contention for this years Under 13 Boys title, with only 1 point separating them at the top of the table.
