1st Stockport Harrier Primary Schools Cross Country 2014/15

The Primary Schools Cross Country series, organised by Stockport Harriers at Woodbank Park, started last Saturday. We had 12 members of our group proudly representing their schools. I'd like to see even more of the group get involved next time. I was very pleased to see Millie run her first Cross Country. I really like the fact that William Btg consistently gets involved in these events and that William H has returned to them after an absence. Isobel W and Poppy are other young athletes who are taking part in these races for all the right reasons and as with the others I have mentioned already, will continue to develop their endurance over time.

Considering the group is not focused solely on endurance, but is a multi-event group, there were some excellent results with 5 children achieving top 10 results in their respective races: Hannah (3rd), Grace(5th), Jonah(6th), William Bgh(8th) and Sofia(10th). There were a further two children in the top 20: Libby(17th) & Ella(19th).

All really good results but what is most important to me is that the children were all giving it their best effort and looked to be enjoying the whole experience of competing for their schools on a Saturday morning.

The full results are attached below:
