Race Results

Last weekend saw the club take on the 2nd instalment of the NYSD Cross Country season at Foxrush Farm, Redcar. The U11 boys and girls delivered some excellent results especially in the boys race as they dominated the top 8 positions. Sasha Patterson managed a podium finish and was supported by some excellent running from her team mates in a much larger field than the boys.

With no U13 boys running it was left to the girls to fly the flag and Lottie Graves (4th) and Chloe Graham (10th) did just that,

In the U15 races both boys and girls took home the top honours by finishing 1st and 2nd in both events as Harry Lyons, Alex Boyer, Zara Jones and Sophie Bannister impressed on the day. Supporting in the boys races, Matthew Vest and Thomas Grayson ensured the team finished the day 1st while Savannah Tarn finished 4th making it a very good day for the girls.

Zara and Savannah

Dylan Wilson finished 5th in the U17 boys race with Ben Buckley 9th while Marissa Boon finished 1st in the U17/20/Senior/Vet race from the 125 runners. Bernie Caygill, Amy Pickworth and Mia Wetherill made sure of the teams victory by finishing 6th, 7th and 21st respectively. Brilliant running from all our ladies on the day.

Ladies finish top again

Despite the brilliant running from Lee Johnson to finish in 5th position it wasn’t quite enough for the mens team with a number of runners missing from the line up due to other races or trips abroad. The team finished in 7th place but great work from all of the senior men who put the vest on and gave it their best. Colin Taylor probably man of the day after running on the back of recent illness to help the team. Full results can be found here
