CAMBRIDGESHIRE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
RAF Barnham on Saturday 10th December
Cambridgeshire AA entered teams in the South of England intercounties Cross-Country event held at RAF Barnham on Saturday 10 th December. 13 Counties took part, most with much larger populations than Cambridgeshire.
It was a very good day for the Under 23 Mens team, who despite the unavailability of Daniel Pettit and Daniel Watts, still took home the team silver medals.
First home for Cambridgeshire was Will George (Cambridge) in 6 th place clocking 34.01, with Glen Watts (Peterbro) close behind in 9 th place clocking 34.25. Alan Williams (Needingworth) was 19 th in 35.38 and Jermal Adams (Peterbro) was 24 th in 37.47. The team winners were Essex with 40 pts, Cambridgeshire scored 58 pts and 3 rd placed Surrey scored 83 points. Kent were 4 th with 90.
In the under 17 Women, Harriet Arbuckle (Cambridge) was unlucky to miss out on an individual medal, finishing 4 th in 20.39, while Ellie Schofield (Cambridge) was 11 th finisher in 21.16. 3 rd home was Suzi Boast (St Neots) in 20 th place and 4 th home was Katy Burgin (St Ives) in 57 th place. No times were posted on the day for these latter two runners.
In the Under 15 Girls, Gemma Coe (Cambridge) led Cambridgeshire’s challenge, finishing 14 th in ca 15.20, with Laura Wilson (Peterbro)41 st, Charlotte Hinch (Peterbro) 52 nd, Laura Burke (Peterbro) 57 th, Katherine MacKay (Huntingdon) 65 th, Emma Ritchie (St Neots) 66 th, Hannah Hutchinson (Huntingdon) 68 th and Victoria Bradley (Peterbro) 76 th.
(Sorry no times were published on the day below 10 th place). I think the team were about 7 th place)
In the Under 15 Boys Richard Pawlack (Peterbro) finished 21 st in 13.40, James Vernau (Peterbro) was29th in 13.46, Will Mycroft (Cambridge) 30 th in 13.47, Josha Jamieson (Cambridge) 47 th in 14.06, Michael Smith (Ely) 55 th , Christopher Smith (Ely) 72 nd, and Tim McGlashen (St Neots) 74 th . (Sorry no times for the last four). I think this agegroup were 8 th team.
In the Senior/Under 23 Women’s race, despite contacting 18 people in total, we couldn’t rustle up a team, but Jen Ives (Cambridge) finished as 21 st Senior (No time) and Carla Gibbons (Cambridge) finished as 18 th Under 23.
Again in the Under 20 Women, due to a training injury on the previous day, we only had three athletes (4 for a team score). Hayley Rule (Cambridge) was first finisher – 32 nd in 28.16, Helen Gardner (Cambridge) was 36 th in 29.06 ansd Emma Garwood (St Ives) was 37 th in 29.41.
In the Under 13 Girls first home for Cambridgeshire was Georgie Ivens (Peterbro)in 46 th place (sorry again no times), the Georgie Freeman (Peterbro) in 48 th, Emily Boast (St neots) in 63 rd, Samantha Longman (Peterbro) in 74 th, Jasmine Corbett (Cambridge) 78 th, Claire Smith (Peterbro) in 79 th and Jenny Corbett (Cambridge ) 81 st.
In the Under 17 men, Robert Kreetzer (Cambridge) finished 48 th in 19.03, Jason Burke ((Peterbro) 49 th in 19.04, William MacKay (Huntingdon) 51 st in 19.11 , Matthew Pettit (Peterbro) 58 th in 19.23 and Jordan Kennard (Cambridge) 65 th in 20.21. I believe that this team were –placed 7 th.
