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.
