Inter-Counties Cross Country – 11.03.23
The last major senior cross country took place at Loughborough in cold muddy conditions after a week of snow. This race was effectively a British Championships with regions from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales taking part alongside English Counties. The Senior Women’s 4th place was out best team result with the U20 Men 8th, U17 Women 9th and U15 Girls 10th our other top 10 finishes. Individually our leadimng Senior Man was Terence Fawden and woman Hannah Viner. Of the young athletes Lauren Russell (Highgate) finished a fantastic 4th in the U17 womens race with Jorjia March, the new XC Champion, was 5th in the U13 Girls race.
Senior Mens team manager Phil Wetton said “In today’s Inter Counties XC Champs at Loughborough, the Middlesex men finished 20th place team, a good result given a number of men were missing with injury.
The Middlesex ladies had a great race to finish 4th place team & were unlucky to miss out on a medal by 10 places.
Manuel said he lost 2 ladies from the team this morning, if they had been racing they would certainly have won a medal.”
Well done to the team managers and athletes for competing so well.
