Todays last race of the series clashed with the Manchester Schools Championships so this gave our runners the opportunity to gain a high placement for a final position. And didn't they just!
Wythenshawe is a flat course but the woods section holds a few very wet ditches ditches to catch the unwary runner out. Hannah u13Gs had a fantastic race settling in to 3rd place almost from the start. She held that position to the finish line never looking threatened, an excellent run.
Next was Kevin u13B, with perhaps too fast a start he soon dropped down to 6th place and a gap started to open up infront of him. Kevin percevered and made sure that gap wasn't too much. With 100m to go he had a huge effort to put in to gain another place. Yet again he kicked for the finish not only overtaking the runner in front but clinching 4th place at the finish line!
James u15B had a strong feild in front of him. He worked really hard keeping pace with 2 Warrington AC runners. Dropping back a little in the woods he nevertheless came out of the woods in 9th place with a strong sprint finish. He even jogged away from the finish line. Terrific run.
