Seniors: It was a golden early spring day for Freya Murray and the North East Women’s team at the climax of the domestic cross-country season. Freya was truly spectacular and after always being in the mix at the front of the race, she pulled away from Steph Twell to win by 9 seconds in 27:21! Awesome stuff!
Freya, who was running for Scotland East, was followed home by the North East team which included 3 ClS ladies. With all 9 NE team members finishing in the top 50, they easily won the team trophy. Melissa Turner was 3rd counter home in a excellent 25th position with 29:37 and was followed closely by Tracy Laws in 35th (29:56). Maxine Czarnecka completed the ClS quartet in 42nd place in a time of 30:21.
Juniors: The club had athletes representing the North East Counties in four of the junior races. With around 300 of the UK’s best runners in each race, our juniors should be proud of their finishing positions. In the U13 age group, Daniel Pickering finished in 65th position in the boys race (11:13) whilst Anna Fawcett finished in 83rd position with a time of 12:12 in the girls race. Chris Peverley was the 4th NE counter coming home in 118th (16:30) and Dyllan Pickavance-Clarke competing against a top quality U20 field finished in 80th in 25:41!
