Sisters Maayan and Lia Radus returned from the Middlesex
cross country championships with a medal apiece. Maayan, 11, took Under 13 gold
while Lia, 14, placed second in the Under 15 race.
“The Wormwood Scrubs course was flat but very muddy”, Lia
reported.
“I got one of my best ever starts," Maayan said. “I
slipped in behind the girl who eventually came second and moved alongside her
just before half way. Once we hit the half way point I ran as hard as I could”.
This surge brought her home 20 seconds clear of the field.
Bini Bloom, 12, won the Years 8&9 title in the Barnet
Schools cross country championships. His brother Jack, 14, placed third in the
Years 10&11 race and was the first Year 10 finisher.
Richard Goodman gained a 45 seconds victory in the
Metropolitan Cross Country League at Perivale. Having now won the three league
races that he has contested, a win in the final race next month should bring
him the overall series victory.
Phillip Benson won the Armada Athletic Network
3K race in Plymouth in 10:04. It was one of four races that Benson ran in the
space of a week before returning to his medical studies in Bulgaria.
