The second half of the cross country season has seen some great performances from Brighton and Hove girls.  This season 13 girls have taken part in cross country.  As Team Manager it has been a delight to see the girls competing so enthusiastically and I would like to thank them all for their commitment to the team.

The star performer has been Martha Coyle who has won individual gold, silver and bronze medals this season, as well as being part of a gold medal winning Sussex team.  The star team has been our under 15s who have won one team Gold and two team Bronze medals.  In addition to this we have a group of girls who have steadily improved throughout the season and show great promise for next year, many of these running their first cross country season.

The girls who have run for the club this season are Martha Coyle, Isobel Jones, Nancy Jones, Ella Witt, Ellen Carrick, Anneira Farrer-Daniel, Grace Fitzpatrick, Holly Turner, Esther Lutz Davies, Steffi Paraskevas, Laura Smith, Darci Stoker and Rachel Titheradge.

After being in second for nearly all the race a storming finish by Martha secured her first place at the Bexhill race.  All the girls produced great performances, especially since most of them are in younger half of the age group.  The finishing positions were Martha 1^st, Isobel 15^th, Nancy 20^th, Ella 23^rd, Ellen 26^th.  In the under 15s Esther was 5^th, Steffi 12^th, Laura 15^th and Darci Stoker 19^th.  Rachel was 23^rd in the women’s race and was part of the scoring women’s team.

The girls made a good showing at Year 7 and 8 races with Martha second in the Year 8 race and in the Year 7 race Isobel was 9^th, Nancy 11^th, Grace 15^th and Aneira 18^th. They all went on to represent Sussex at Reigate.  Martha won a bronze medal in the Year 8 race.  In the Year 7 race Nancy was the second fastest Sussex girl in 37^th position, while the other girls all finished within 6 places of each other with Aneira, Isobel and Grace finishing 61^st  62^nd 66^th respectively.

Well done to all the girls - great performances throughout the season.

A special thank you to Pete Witcomb and John Clements who give up so much of their time to train the girls on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday morning.  Without this dedication these successes would not be possible.  On behalf of all the girls, and their parents, I would like to thank them both for giving up their time to coach the athletes.

Girls Cross Country Team Manager

We had some exceptional results from our teenage runners who represented Sussex last weekend against top class athletes from all over England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. In the U13 boys’ event Stephen Ferroni continued his outstanding form and finished in 9th place. Well done to an unwell Samura Karmara who did really well to complete the course.   The U13 boys took 13th team spot.

In the U13 girls event Martha Coyle had a very strong race and should be pleased with her 36th place.  In the U15 James Oliver and Esther Lutz-Davies both ran well, as did Alex Rice in the boys U17. 

The first race of the day was the U20 men’s 8K and one of the most improved middle distance athletes in Sussex  -  Will Gray came in 21st with an inspired run, leading the Sussex team to 3rd place overall, This is Will’s first year in the age group so what will the lad do next year? On his welcome return from injury James McCarthy completed the team in 57th and Keiran Silsby ran a good race to make the first 100, finishing in 99th place.

John Clements

It’s two in a row for B&H’s Fiona Powell as she retained her Brighton half marathon title in a new personal best of 80:58.  It was a fabulous run in cool and calm weather conditions. Fiona came in 43rd overall in a field of more than 5500 runners.
Louis Taub was our first man home in 12th place in a new personal best of 74:03 followed by Dave Boyce in 17th in 76:29. Well done to all B&H runners. Full results at: http://www.sportsystems.co.uk/
