Well done to Charlotte Watson who made her debut for Keswick AC in the Junior Women's race at yesterday's National. Also her first taste of the Nationals, the 19-year old placed a great 47th from a strong field of 111 which was won by 2011 European Cross Country Champion, Charlotte Purdue of the Ashford, Farnham & District club.
Junior Women's results here.
This was followed by a cracking run from Phil Winskill, pulling out a great result in the Senior Men's race off the back of a period of injury-restricted training recently. Phil placed 110th in a field of 1302 competitors. The result goes to show the quality of the field at the National.

Well done to both of the club athletes who put themselves on the line yesterday, they're a great example to the rest of the club and will both gain a lot from the event.
Senior Men's results here.
Matt Barnes has put some great videos of the races up online including this one which shows the start of the 1302-strong senior men's race.
He has also uploaded some good videos of last month's Northern Cross Country Champs at Herrington Park in Sunderland, including this one which shows the two Keswick lads on the day -Steve can be seen tracking Nick Leigh about 2 minutes through the clip and Phil close behind about 2min 35secs in.
