Northern Cross Country Championships – review 2012

Jenny takes the biscuit at the Northern CC Championships, Pontefract Park

Jenny Horne had her best ever placing of 45th in this year’s Northern’s, then dished out banana flapjack after the senior men’s race. Plenty of room too in the new club tent which had its first outing.

Jenny Horne was the only senior woman to compete for the club as injuries & illness decimated the team, finishing 45th in 35.14 for the 8km course behind victor Lizzie Adams from Hallamshire Harriers. It was a strong run from Jenny as she worked her way through the field on the 2 lap fast course, taking the scalp of Hallamshire’s Ruth Proctor for the first time.

Sam Chambers celebrated completion of his finals at Nottingham University in a time of 33.33 for 70th place in the Junior Men’s 8km race. Matt Purslow struggled with shin splints and unfortunately had to drop out from his first cross country event for the club.

The Senior Men also failed to complete a team, with just three toeing the line, and only two finishing as Tim Tett suffered a deadleg on the second of three laps of the 12km course, forcing him to withdraw. Chris Ireland ran a great race to finish 186th in 48.07, with Ian Alexander-Barnes working his way round steadily to finish 387th in 53.24. Further up the field, second claim member John Heneghan in the Pudsey & Bramley colours placed a solid 30th in 42.09 behind repeat winner Steve Vernon of Stockport, who proved too strong for Leeds City’s James Wilkinson winning in 39.52. A record field for recent years of 685 completed the race.

Time for the club to focus on the National at Parliament Hill, London on the 25th February. Let’s see if we can finish a 6 man male and 4 woman female scoring teams!
