Majestic Travel Cross Country League
Round 4; Wrexham, 21/1/2006.
On Saturday a very strong team of fifteen Harriers travelled to Wrexham for the penultimate round of the Majestic Travel Cross Country League producing their best ever team results in both the ladies and men’s races. The ladies were led home by Kristy Stephenson, making her debut for the club at the discipline, in an excellent 19mins 40secs for 24th position. Hot on her heels was Hilary Jaques, once again winning her age category, in a superb 19mins 58secs for 27th, with Angie Davidson also producing a stunning performance, finishing in 20.56 for 38th. Ladies ever-present Julie Jones completed an excellent team performance in 26mins 54secs making a total team score of 89, by far their best all season. Not to be outdone the men also produced a record score of 334 points and once again there was a tremendous tussle at the front for the honour of first Harrier home, with Geran Hughes coming out tops on this occasion, just out-sprinting Sean McCormack in the final half lap with the pair finishing in 32.07 and 32.16 respectively for 27th and 30th position overall. Third Harrier, in tremendous form at present, was Grahame Shone, in 34mins18secs (56th), with Tim Cahill less than a minute behind in an excellent 35.02 (64th). Roy Evans, showing his loyalty to the cross-country team by running the first of two races over the weekend, was next in 35mins 56secs (76th), with Ed Reid just 22 seconds further back in 81st position. John Humphries, another Harrier taking very well to cross-country, came home in 37mins 59secs (94th), with Emyr Evans just behind in 38mins 18secs for 97th. Rob Spotswood also ran well, finishing in 39mins 46secs, with Dave Edwards, running his first ever cross-country race, performing superbly to finish in 42mins 38secs, seventeen seconds ahead of veteran cross-country campaigner Alan Lucas.
