News from the British Cross(-Country) Challenge Match 3
This was No. 3 in the five match series which ends in Loughborough on March 12th. It was held “in very testing conditions” (remember Storm Arwen!) in Sefton Park, Liverpool, on 27th November. In his first club race at this level, u17M Ed Bird had an inspired run to win by 4 seconds in 16-58, from a field of 104. The challenging course was 5.5 km. In the Senior Mens’ race, over a 9.8 km course, member Dominic Willmore was ranked 128 of the 511 finishers in a time of 32-07. (Winner 28-02.) He was also ranked 53 of the 81 u23M. ( NOTE : the Loughborough event also incorporates the UK Inter-Counties Championships)
