15/01/2012  Frostbite League Race 4  details
After previously waiting almost 3 years to record a further 2nd place finish in a Frostbite race, managing this in the December race at Hinchingbrooke, the Seniors repeated the feat in the very next race, today at March. Provisional results show that this success elevates the Seniors to 2nd place in the league overall (highest point the writer can recall us achieving).

However, one disappointing aspect of today was that we had our lowest turnout of runners this season - just 22. We had 26 at the previous race at Hinchingbrooke, which we organised and marshaled! It was a great day for running today so it was a shame to see a fall off in club members representing their club. The highest [possible turnout in the races is our first priority so, hopefully, we will see a significant improvement at the next race, in just 3 weeks time, at Bourne Woods.

Very well done to our young junior team who fielded 18 runners and finished a superb 4th on the day, for a current 5th place in the league. A special mention to Francesca Worrall, Amelia Darnell and Charlotte Smith (as well as to Eleanor Smith in the Senior race), who all competed y'day in the County Schools XC but lined up today again to support the team, and, thus, earned this year's "Tough Girl Award".   

More details to follow when available.
