Runners on form in championships
HIGH-flying Harrier Glen Saqui was in scintillating form on Saturday at the South of England Cross-Country Championships in Norfolk.
Competing in his first-ever cross-country season, the Highgate runner clocked a time of 49 minutes, 45 seconds to take 28th spot out of a field of more than 550 finishers in the senior men’s category.
Peter Downie also triumphantly tackled the undulating 15,000m course as he finished in 81st place with a time of 52mins, 31secs.
In the junior men’s race, Saningo Martyn improved on his 18th place finish in last year’s competition when he completed the 8000m circuit in 27mins, 39secs to hit home in 10th spot out of starting pack of 70 runners.
Meanwhile competing over the same distance, Anna Curley ran well in the women’s senior event to record a time 33mins, 42secs to finish 52nd out of 203 runners.
n LONDON Heathside also enjoyed a successful turnout at the championships. Jo King sealed the club’s highest-placed finish of the day when she took 18th place in the women’s senior race with a very respectable time of 31mins, 12secs.
Teammate Anna Critchlow crossed the finishing line 27seconds later to claim 24th spot. Angela Howe took 50th place with a time of 33mins, 38secs.
Top Heathside junior Ella Waldman put in an impressive display in the women’s under-17s race as she clinched a top-20 finish with a time of 20mins, 15secs.
But in the men’s senior race, a hampered Heathside team failed to build any momentum, with Paul Lemmon sealing the club’s highest finish in 106th place. Elsewhere, Ken Heney closed in on a personal best on Friday when he finished third for Heathside at the Hyde Park 5k road race. |
