Cross
Country 2010
Sadly, this
year's cross country has been decimated due to severe
weather conditions. For the first time in 32 years, we were
unable to complete at least two meetings and it is difficult
to re-schedule the cancelled events. As it is impossible to
foretell what would have happened in regard to team
competitions based on only one run, there will be no team
awards this year. This is unfortunate as far as Newker is
concerned as they were in leading positions in both the
boys' and girls' competitions. James Curry (Cestria) and
Katie Savoury (Newker) will receive an individual award in
recognition of a fine achievement in winning the race at
Bullion Lane/Newker.
Bullion Lane/Newker Schools -
Saturday January 23rd
Sixteen schools were represented at the
first cross country at Bullion Lane/Newker Schools after the
first run, scheduled for Hermitage last week had to be
cancelled (a rare event). Conditions for cross country
running were good although Newker's pitch was particularly
heavy in places.
75 girls lined up and, after one of the most
sedate of starts, the race was completed without problems.
This course is certainly the most varied with a steep hill
to run up and a winding course through Newker and Bullion
Lane Schools. Winner of the girls' competition was Katie
Savoury (Newker) with Newker winning the team competition
88 boys took part in the boy's competition
and, again, the race went smoothly, with Cestria pupil,
James Curry, the individual winner. Newker were team winners with an
outstanding score of 18 points
