English Schools XC

Four of our youngsters made the long journey to Norwich this last weekend having being selected to run for North Yorkshire in one of the final races of the Cross Country season, the English Schools Cross Country Championship. All were running in the bottom of their age groups so to be there at all is a significant achievement.

First up was Emily Jones running in the Inter Girls race, who finished in 319th. Next up was the Junior boys Race with Alex Thompson and Sam Smith both running. Alex finished in a remarkable 13th place, and was 2nd team counter whilst Sam finished in 158th place. The Junior boys were 2nd team overall plus they also had the highest placed last man which meant they also received the Lockhurst Lane Trophy. Final race saw Alice Jones compete in the Junior Girls. Alice finished in 44th place and was also 2nd team counter.
