Southern XC at Parliament Hill Fields, Jan 26th
PAC had 25 finishers in a total of 9 of the 10 races in the SEAA XC Championships staged again on the tough terrain of Parliament Hill Fields in Hampstead, London, last Saturday. The best performances on the day were from William Rabjohns, George Mahon, Lexie Brown, Ashia Wilson and Emily Parker. We finished complete scoring teams in three of these races, i.e. 18th out of 38 teams in the u13; 19th out of 34 teams in the u15G; and 65th out of 71 teams in the SW.
A total of almost 3500 runners finished in our 9 races! Some spectacle!
Well done to all those who tackled this major Regional challenge!
