Will, (the u13B Challenge champion for the past two seasons), is now a first-year u15B and so did well, on the 3200m course, to finish 10^th in 10-42, (winner 9-59).

Senior Man Tom managed 19^th (of 65), running his 9600m course in 31-46, while maintaining a similar pace to that of Will.

Match 2 of the Challenge will be raced at Milton Keynes on November 9^th.

Lexie, Emily and Mark R feature in Hants 1!

The first of the Hampshire Cross-Country League matches was staged nearby at King’s Park in steady rain and on a soaked course on Saturday. A total of 20 Juniors and 10 Seniors competed for Poole AC. In the Juniors, the first three of a team produced their total. (First five finishers for the Seniors.)

Lexie Brown (u13G winner), Emily Parker (4^th in u17W), and Mark Ruby (4^th in u15B) produced our best individual results but all were heroes in that weather!

The results can be found here>>>

NEXT HANTS XC League Match is on Saturday November 9th at Sparsholt College, Winchester.
