The final race of the cross-country league took place at Wing
over an undulating and
rather muddy course. Twenty-two Harriers
raced with excellent placings in the men's
race by Morgan Walters in 8th, Kevin Willetts in 9th and Mark Whiteman in 16th. The other scorers in the men'srace were Richard Piron, David Holt, Rob Miller and Martin Leach.
In the women's race Cathy Rogers was first Harrier home in 10th closely followed
by
Viv Kilgour in 12th place. The third lady counter was Nicola Lawton who
just pipped
Jeanette Cheetham on the line.
Once again the Harriers were 4th team in the race.
The final standings for the league were decided after the race with
top honours going to Ampthill and Flitwick. Bedford Harriers finished
fourth overall this year which is a great improvement on 7th last year. A
mention must go to the ladies team who finished in 2nd position out of the 11
competing teams and to Hannah Liston who was 2nd female in the individual
standings.
Many thanks to all the Harriers who have turned out for the cross country this
season.
There has been a real team atmosphere at all the races and
hopefully we will have an equally enthusiastic response come next autumn!
