On Friday we celebrated the end of another successful cross country season at the clubhouse, reports Clem Dixon. This was the first time that we had included juniors in our Grand Prix competition and it was great to have so many of the winners there in person to be presented with their medals by club president Peter Hadley.

The final tables for juniors and seniors are here: https://www.cambridgeharriers.org/cross-country-gp

We also presented trophies and medals for road running and fell running where the overall winners were Rose Baker (by two points from James Macdonald) and Christian Poulton (by three points from James Floyd). https://www.cambridgeharriers.org/road-gp / ttps://www.cambridgeharriers.org/fell-gp.

Sutcliffe Indoor High Jump & 60's, Sutcliffe Park (Sat. 28th Feb. / Sun. 1st Mar.)

The club organised its second set of winter high jump and 60m sprint competitions last weekend, writes Mick Bond. Both were very well supported with twenty-three high jumpers and 205 sprinters entered. As well as providing good local competition for club members these events add greatly to club funds enabling us to keep membership fees low and we are very grateful to the team of officials and administrators who make these events run so smoothly and successfully.
