Seniors All Impress at St.Albans

Like travelling to an away fixture at Old Trafford or the Etihad, the St.Albans Relay takes place at the home of one of the country's top Cross-Country schools, if not the top.

This is always a very challenging fixture with some excellent opposition and a course that can be very wet and muddy. With 6-man teams and a 2-mile leg each everyone aimed to improve on their previous years time and see where we ended.

The long drive to St.Albans around the M25 was uneventful with Miss Tomes and Francis in the minibus and Mr Fell in his car due to a late evening appointment.

A Team

Ercolano 10.40 (2015 – 11.49)  
R Galvin 10.33 (10.41)       
Wells 10.35
Lutakome 9.15 (9.49)     

Jones 10.47 (11.45)
        A Galvin 10.34 (10.44)          
 
 
 

B Team

Daburn 11.28
(Sorry no photo!)
 
J Halfacre 12.10 (13.27)
 
  Brant 11.26
 McAllister 12.01 (12.09)
Hodgson 11.34 (12.58)
  R Galvin 10.51 
(Ran last leg to make up 6)
 
 
   

TEAM RESULT 

A TEAM 6th & B TEAM 14th in a very high quality race which included teams that always perform exceptionally well in the National Relay. A real gutsy performance from the squad improving their 2015 times
 
 

Unfortunately the drive home was, as usual, a nightmare, and the minibus arrived back at JFS HQ at 7.15 after a 3 hour journey!

Well done to all runners!
