UK Inter Counties Cross Country Championships
10th March, Wollaton Park, Nottingham
This year’s event took place at a new venue which everyone seemed to prefer for the course, its lack of mud, fine weather and scenic setting with Wollaton Hall high up on the hill looking down at the unfolding race drama.
Macsen Watts produced East Wales’ best performance of the day, coming 6th in U13 Boys. Other notable junior performances came from Anya Brady, Ceri Griffiths, Will Chalk and Joseph Murphy.
Our best team performance was from U13 Boys, 32ndout of 40 scoring teams.
Elin Griffiths is stepping boldly into senior competition and was 70th in a high-quality Women’s race. Craig Hudson was our top Senior in the Men’s race in 227th position.
East Wales is one of the smallest counties to take part in the event, but we ensure we maintain our presence on the national championships stage, and team spirit was buoyant throughout the day.
