Two County Champions from Canford races!

The draft results from the Dorset County races which were incorporated into Wessex Cross-Country League Match 4, staged at Canford School’s estate on December 15th, show Poole AC now having two County Champions! Just to explain, this was scheduled as Match 4 and the original “Match 3” had to be postponed. This will now be run concurrently with the South-West XC Championships at Aldon Hill on Sunday, January 5th 2020!

The relatively flat course was wet underfoot but bright sunshine bathed the fields and made the weather tolerable!  For those with cameras it was great!

The performances of athletes who had entered for the County races were extracted from the main Wessex League results. These were then re-ranked and those are listed as the Dorset results below.

Lexie Brown maintained her brilliant run of form by topping the U13 girls’ rankings, supported by Elizabeth Dawson. William Rabjohns finished second in the under-15 boys, ably backed by the much-improved Mark Ruby, closely followed by useful runs by Tristan Green and Finn Pardy!   The U17 women managed to achieve four finishers in the first six, ably led by Emilie Castagna in second.

Ashia, Heidi, Isobel and Camilla completed this talented team. Zac Cloete was in the first four of the U17 men, continuing to strengthen his running experience. Finally, Leo (U13B) and Jacob (U17M) helped to “show the Club flag” by racing at this level. Jamie Grose easily won the Senior Mens’ race, followed home by Rob.

Please remember, these are only the Dorset COUNTY results!
