Sandhurst Cross Country Results and Video

It was our second race in the Thames Valley Cross Country League last Sunday, this one in the woods and hills of Hawley Lake, hosted by Sandhurst Joggers. Definitely a tougher proposition than the first race at Eton.

The team came in sixth overall out of fifteen, following our fifth place in the first race. In both cases, our ladies team has performed brilliantly, placing third and fourth, and lifting us up the points table. We have had great turn-outs  so far, with 22 runners in this race, and 24 in the one before.

One sorry note - Laura Hales fell and gashed her knee during the Sandhurst race, and will be out of action for a little while. Get well soon Laura!

Here is a video of race highlights, featuring all our team at one stage or another, plus the race winners. Apologies to Jo Smith for missing her finish, but we did get her in at the start and in a few of the still photos. Welcome back after your long absence Jo, and wear green next time :)


Here is a link to the team results, showing our points scorers (3 ladies, 6 men):

(Though it's worth noting here that ALL OUR RUNNERS contribute to our finishing position, as even those who finish out of the points make the scores worse of all those rival runners finishing behind them - and our margin over Burnham in 7th place was only 5 points - so we need to keep these large turnouts going.)

And here is a link to all the individual results:

Next race is on December 9th, so please mark your diaries.......
