-Results from Bedford-
For the third time in this year's cross country series, the Harriers finished in fourth position in our own race at Bedford. Though not improving our finishing position, a number of Harriers put in excellent performances and our overall scoring position continues to improve. This time we finished with 222 points, up from 247 points at Wellingborough and 301 points at Letchworth.
The first Harrier to finish and the first man overall in the race was Nick Berrill who had an excellent run - good to see Nick back. Also having a terrific run was Kevin Willett who finished in sixth place in his first cross country of the season. Graham King continued his good form to finish in 27th position just ahead of Alistair Fadden and Richard Piron in 32nd and 33rd places respectively. Also continuing to make rapid progress is Tony Barnes in 46th position. Tony has improved his finishing positions from 111th at Letchworth and 80th at Wellingborough. The final scoring man was David Holt in 51st place. Well done David
The first lady Harrier to finish and the fifth lady overall was Hannah Liston. Again well done Hannah. The second lady to finish and the 10th overall was Cathy Rogers. Lisa North was the third scoring lady in 16th overall position.
A number of Harriers including Pete Sarad, Andy Purdy and Jim Gannon ran their first cross country race this year. Also well done to Paul Mowbray who ran his first race since the Sandy 10 in April following an injury.
