At Hartlepool Michael Meggs (2nd) and Simon Russell (new pb) got 70%+ age-gradings. Fin Pennington and Keran Hodgson got new pb's at Redcar - whilst Izzy Morgan was 2nd lady to finish at Stewart. We also had runners at Albert, Heaton, Bradford, Sedgefield, Flatts Lane, Fountains Abbey and Northallerton. Sunday saw the North Eastern Counties Cross Country Championships at Sedgefield. Our ladies team - consisting of Abby Barker, Emily Palmer, Katie Abel, Liz Simpson and Karen Askwith - put in yet another superb performance. They finished 5th out of 23 teams. Great work. Our gents - Jonathon Archer, Peter Jeffries and Gareth Maloney - all ran well - although we didn't have quite enough runners to earn a team placing. Paul J
