SEAA Inter-County XC Championships – 11.12.2021

Posted on by

The first Inter County Race for 2 years took place on Saturday 11th December at Lloyd Park, Croydon. Many of the young runners were making their County debut on what, despite the firm ground, proved to be a testing course. However the rain did hold off for the Junior races.

The Highlight of the meeting was the U15 Girls race which was won by Adela Svihalkova (TVH) after a terrific sprint to the line to help the team finish in 2nd place overall behind Kent. Elsewhere the teams finished 5th (U17W, U20W), 6th (U13B), 8th (U13G) and 11th (U15B). In addition to Adela’s 1st place there were top ten finishes for Lyra MacDonald (VPH&TH), Ellen Donald (Highgate) and Tom Mythen (SMR),

Well done to all the runners and Middlesex Team Managers Tim Hannah and Alex Baird.
