BDSSA Cross Country

It was fantastic morning at Witton Park in the Blackburn with Darwin Cross-Country Championships. There was a host of successes throughout the age groups and all runners should be proud with their efforts.

In the U12 boys race Ben Jackson and Cale Heaton finished in the top 10 and in the girls Holly Beswick finished on the podium in third place.

Both the U14 boys and U14 girls were crowned champions of Blackburn with magnificent performances. In the boys race there were three top 10 finishes with Jonny Brindle finishing 3^rd overall. Lloyd Ince followed him in 7^th and Lewis Warner-Jones in 10^th. The result was even more remarkable considering both Jonny and Lloyd raced against runners from the year above. The U14 girls dominated their race with Lara Ingram-Weston finishing in 1^stplace, Eva Knowles in 3^rd, Amelia Halstead in 4^th, Eadie Beswick in 5^th and Grace Berry in 6^th.
