Campbell Park in Milton Keynes was the venue for the third round of the Chiltern Cross Country League. The weather may have been kind but the hills were brutal for the 33 athletes who took part. Finish line comments like ‘there were more hills than roundabouts in Milton Keynes’ and ‘it couldn’t have been hillier if they tried’ confirmed it was a tough course.

Jude Crossley put in a strong performance on the hills to finish 3rd placed U15B. In the U13B event Conner and Kieran Kealey dominated the race again to finish 2nd and 3rd respectively.

It was a great team effort with plenty of spirit leading to a large number of top ten finishes. Well done Murray Heal 5th, Aubrey Murray 6th U17M, Leo Richards 9th and James Cook 10th U15B, Ashwin Natarajan 10th U13B, Hannah Cook 7th U17F, Imogen Dempsey 4th and Neve Sayers 10th U15F, Harriet Newstead 10th U13G and Katie Kealey 4th U11G. Full results can be found here.

The juniors have maintained their medal positions and are looking strong heading into the final two fixtures.
