ESAA Cross Country: Results Are In! 2014

On a wet and windy morning, we travelled up to Wymondham College, where the sun was shining, but it was still  bitterly cold – much different to the conditions last week at the school cross country!! With only 6 girls and 5 boys running in their respective junior sections, and only the top 4 counting, it was going to be a tight and tough competition, especially against 17 other schools.

The junior girls scored 33 points, which was fantastic & special mention must go to Sarah Barker who came 1^st…considering she has been injured but desperately wanted to run so filled in at the last minute!! The remaining girls, all ran superbly – Amy Graham 5^th, Victoria Burrows 13^th, Sophie Graham 14^th, Ianthe Hill 18^th and Charlotte Dinwiddy 24^th.

In the boys race, there was great determination from the off as they all knew it was a team event so wanted to support one other. A great run by all with George Rufford gaining 13^th place, Alexander Evans-Lombe 33^rd, Jack Leith 43^rd, Charles Easton 47^th and Thomas Beniost-Wilson 50^th.

The top 2 schools from the competition go through to Regional finals. This is the first year we have entered the ESAA Schools’ Cross Country Cup and it is a great event, particularly for our super cross country runners!! Thank you also to Mr Goddard and Mr Garvie for all their hard work and input with running club!!
