Radus sisters overcome setbacks at the British Athletics Cross Challenge



Blackheath & Bromley middle distance specialists Maayan and Lia Radus achieved high placings in the prestigious British Athletics Cross Challenge in Liverpool. Maayan, 12, placed 18th in the U13 event while Lia, 15, finished 21st in the U15’s. Their times were 11:41 and 11:09 respectively for the 3Km course. 
Maayan's race represented solid progress after the disruption of changes of school and coach. Older sister Lia also overcame adversity, in tackling the event one week after recovering from a bout of shingles. The races were run over firm ground but through thick mist on a cold morning.

Harrow athlete Rachel Ayrton, 17, made a fine start to the indoor season, clocking 1:48.17 for 600m in the Lee Valley November Open.
