Westholme’s Sixth Form team deserve a special mention as out of the five runners, only Beckie Taylor is a fell/cross-country runner. The other girls were persuaded that Westholme needed a team in this age group to stand a chance of the winning the overall trophy. So, in true Westholme style, Emma Watts, Kellsey Millar, Leena Najia and Harriet Jones put their school first and put their bodies through torture as they ascended and descended Winder Fell, reaching a height of 1,350 feet. Westholme finished in second place.
Team: Beckie Taylor, Emma Watts, Kellsey Millar, Leena Najia and Harriet Jones.
Mrs Whittaker was very proud of each and every Westholme runner!
