After the weather finally allowed a cross country fixture we had some fantastic results at Sefton Park tonight. Katie Traynor continued her excellent running form, finishing in her best position yet, and Poppy Spellman showed that she can compete against children much older than her!

In the boys race, there were lots of first timers after showing great promise in the fun run at Stanley Park last month. Kevin, Billy and Bobby matched the order from the fun run as our first 3 runners home. Kevin, inspired by Zola Budd, ran most of the race with his trainers in his hands after they fell off in boggy conditions during the first part of the course! 

Well done to the rest of the boys, who persevered well in tough conditions in our final race of the season. It will be great to get these same children back in the team next year, to test themselves further as the eldest children in the races.
