Sheffield Open CC races, Graves Park 2nd January
Sun 03 Jan 10	170
An excellent club turn out (athletes, team managers, coaches and supporters) on a cold and wintry day, at this well organised and marked out event The weather started out cold and clear, but heavy snow set in during the 6th race - for under 15 boys - and conditions became extremely cold. We had athletes in all age events except the under 11 girls event, and had team successes, wherever we had enough scorers for a team, as follows:- U11 boys; 1st team (kane Smith 2nd, Joe Morton 5th, & Jordan Dixon 10th) U13 girls; 1st team (Maisie Elliott 4th, Emily Hutchinson 9th and Beth Taylor 10th). The team tied with CoS on points but won it on countback with Beth's 10th place. U15 girls; 1st team (Codie Marsh 2nd,Jess Freeman 6th, Emma Dutton 7th, Emma Parkinson 10th, Bonnie Smith 17th) U15 Boys; 1st team (Luke Cotter 3rd, Nicholas Myers 5th, Aidan Hall 7th) U17 Women; 1st team (Emily Fisher 1st, Natasha Hatswell 2nd, Rachel Hall 5th) Senior Women 1st team (Annabell Grady 1st, Stef Burns 2nd, Sharon Burton 9th, Philippa James 10th). Jess Fawcett had to drop out (understandably) with cold hands. Other results (where teams were incomplete) were:- U13 boys Robert Bentham 3rd, Ryan Beale 7th. U17 men Chris Maris 6th, Paul Ward 7th Sen Vet men Nigel Cook 19th, Stephen Cotter 43rd The photos are now on the web site XC gallery, and the full results can be seen on Sheffield Running clubs web site.

Rotherham Harriers had 22 club athletes taking part, and up against some stiff competition from other South Yorkshire and Yorkshire athletes.

Northern mens 6 stage and womens 4 stage relays. Leeds Met Uni 26th Sep
Mon 28 Sep 09	164
Team strength was reduced in both teams, and to such an extent in the women's team that we only had one runner, due to illness and unavailability. Natalie Grant had a fine run, finishing 5th on leg 1, and recording the 7th fastest time, in the womens event. The mens team finished 31st, and ordinarily would not have qualified for the national champs on the 17th Sep. However we were 25th club to finish, (There 6 club B or C teams in front of our team) and we received confirmation of our qualification on MOnday the 28th Sep. We plan to take both men's and womens teams to Sutton Park on the 17th Oct.
