Results for the Wolverhampton Cross Country, 16-Nov-2014

On a damp, cloudy morning 8 brave Sphinx juniors dragged themselves and their parents out of bed to take part in the 2nd X country meeting of the season.

The start at Wolverhampton had been moved so the first 200 metres was a really tough slope which had to be negotiated at least once. After recent rain and lots of races the course was again very muddy more suited to spikes than road shoes.

All of the juniors put in good runs, many beating their times and placings from the last meeting at Hatton. Well done to all.

See you at the next meeting on 7th December. Details to follow soon.
