Chiltern league report

The second round of the Chiltern league took place at a rain swept Teardrop Lake in Milton Keynes on Saturday and was incorporated into the UKA Cross Country Challenge series as well. On a day when local football matches were being called off left, right and centre an intrepid team of Harrier’s were willing to brave the elements and to test themselves against many of the best runners in the country.

Henry Pollock and Reuben Snelson were first up in the under-11 boys race running really well and finishing 17^th and 24^th respectively in a field of 82. Angus Pollock also ran strongly in the under-13 boys finishing 7^th in division two and 40^th out of 112 overall. Tia Williams produced a storming run to finish 5^th in the under-15 girl’s division two match and 31^st overall before Owen Knox and Cameron Baugh finished 13^th and 18^th respectively in the divisional match and 86^th and 96^th overall.

Next up was Emily Thompson in the woman’s under-17/20 and her fine efforts on the day were rewarded with an excellent 2^nd place in the division and 29^th overall.

First home in the senior men was Tim Wright in an impressive 8^th position in division two and 87^th overall, he was followed by a good run from Phil Coy who was 93^rd and 363^rd and then Neil Forbes who was 119^th and 418th and Andy Bartlett 140^th and 453rd.

In the senior woman there was a good race between Ros Kelling and Michelle Bartlett who finished 7^th and 8^th in division 2 split by just 6 seconds and 70^th and 72^nd overall. Next home was Rebecca Pull in 35^th and 141^st and then Lisa Ansell in 64^th and 200^th position.
