I had the privilege of being the Cumbria Women’s Team
Manager for the Inter-County Cross Country Championship at Cofton Park
Birmingham on Saturday. Our Cumbrian Squad
consisted of Sarah Tunstall 17th, Clare McKeown 104th,
Ruth Hetherington 155th, Rhiannon Silson 190th, Kath
Aubrey 196th, Emma McKnespiey 255th and Hazel Davies 266th. Cumbria finished 21st from 33
teams and although a modest finish is a stepping stone on which to build. It’s the first time we’ve had a squad in four
years. I was also selected for the squad
but unfortunately had to withdraw due to injury.
Congratulations also to Katy Livesey and Ella Jackson who
are both Keswick AC Members and coached by myself and Hazel and Martin Sluce at Cockermouth School. They had a last minute call up to represent
the U13 Girls and now have their first ‘County’ vest.
Steve Hebblethwaite was the Men's team manager and also
competed finishing 200th, not his best run of late but still crucially counting
for the squad.
The event was televised by Sky TV and the outright winners
were Louise Damen of Hampshire and Frank Tickner of Avon and Somerset in the
men’s event. Full results can be seen
