A wet and soggy course greeted the 2 senior teams at the Hampton Paarlauf on Wednesday but an absence of some of the schools from previous years raised hopes of a medal.
The Paarlauf is always fun and very different from normal meets
The teams of 3 run continuously around a 1 mile course for 24 minutes, passing the baton when they see fit but having run a minimum of 400 metres with it. In effect this results in around 500-600 metres for each runner, who then has to jog back along the course to receive the baton for their next leg.
It was quickly apparent that Guildford would win as their team streaked into a massive lead, but JFS were in 3 rd place after the first rotation, and were able to hold off challenges quite comfortably to finish with well-deserved bronze medals!
