Lovely autumn weather yesterday after the previous day’s deluge of rain heralded the start of the 2010/2011 cross country season with the first race in the North Staffordshire Cross Country League at Knights Grange in Winsford. There was a fantastic turnout of athletes for the first race with some incredible results across the age groups. For full individual results and team positions after this first round click here. But the U13 Boys lead the team league, the U11 Boys are 2nd, the U11 Girls, U13 Girls and U15 Girls are 3rd and the U15 Boys are also 3rd.

Thanks to all the athletes (especially those competing for the first time) and parents and coaches who made the trip today and a special thank you to Jackie Pickles and Neil Cockerton for their assistance at the finish line. Next race on the 6th November at Park Hall – hope to see you all there? Please remember – every athlete counts and for all races except the senior men we need three Crewe and Nantwich athletes to finish the race in every round to keep us in the team competitions.
