HOME RACE RESULTS!

Our home league fixture saw a gloriously sunny morning perfect for running. Three local schools were able to attend – Oxted, Trinity and Tiffin. The junior race was very competitive with 48 runners, many of them year 7 getting used to race tactics and a distance of up to 2 miles. They looked very impressive on the start line on the old Croydon airport with fantastic views out over the London Basin as far as Hampstead Heath. Alfie Smith led the junior team home to finish in 2^nd place, one better than last week. All our junior runners aquitted themselves well and hopefully should be feeling a bit fitter now. Well done to Leo Ostinello for being our first year 7 home in 14^th place.

The smaller inter and senior teams started their races together, but split after 800m to run different distances. Harry Smith ran a strong race to finish a close 2^nd to an impressive Oxted runner. Most of Harry’s team mates have moved up an age group this year and found the extra distance challenging so early on in the season. It will get easier lads!

The senior team was a bit depleted as the Galvins are competing in a tough triathlon this weekend – we hope that it went well, especially as you know that your level of fitness still has some way to go! Captain Sean was too ill to run, but gamely turned up to help out at the finish. Ricky was the first senior in, but would readily admit to being under no pressure at all and appeared to treat the event as a bit of a training run. We can’t blame him for doing that. Well done to our new runner Finlay Wells  - he should be very pleased with his 3^rd place and will possibly make our A team selection more difficult this year – a good problem to have! Year 11s Gianluca and Jacob made up the scoring team today as the senior team remains unbeaten in the league. Keep up the training – 4.5miles over the Kings Trophy course on Oct 5th is a long way if you are not fit ….

Many thanks to Mr O’Halloran and Francis for haring and marking the course today and also to Ms Drozd for helping with the timekeeping.
