It was good to see so many BCAC athletes making the very long trip north to Sedgefield, County Durham, for the National Cross Country Championships last weekend (21^st February).

Best team performance of the day was in the senior men’s race, where we had 10 athletes on the start line, with the team finishing a very creditable 6^th (2^nd southern club), led home by Ben Alcock’s fine 13^th place, a commendable effort, coming as it did just 6 days after running a half marathon pb.

The U17 men also closed a scoring team, finishing an excellent 10^th, with Oliver Weddell finishing 17^th  - a hugely creditable performance, especially as he is in the bottom year of this two-year age group.

Amongst many other excellent club performances was a fine run by Ethan Gibbs for 14^th place in the U15 Boys race.
