The final race of the Young Athletes X-Country season 2007-8 took place on March 2nd at Perry Park in Birmingham, with a good turnout for the club, which finished the season in a respectable 10th position out of 20 clubs.
Well done to all the young athletes who have braved the wintery conditions this season to take part, it was a great effort – there’s plenty of room for improvement, so let’s hope we can nudge a bit nearer the top of the table next season!

The championship title went to Tannika Burgess in her first race of the winter in the time of 7.92 – the second fastest time in the country. Ann Ika-Oqua was an excellent second in 8.02 – sixth fastest in the country. In her first year U15 Shalliece Benjamin smashed her PB finishing 6th in the final with 8.40.

This website is currently undergoing some re-construction due to a few technical difficulties which arose a few weeks ago. I’ve finally solved the problems, upgraded the site and am now in the process of clearing the back log of stuff that needs adding, including a lot of new information which we are adding to try and achieve Clubmark status for the club.
Apologies for the delay, and watch this space as it will all be up to date very soon!
