Cardiff riding high

Friday 4 December 2009

Cardiff's athletes are producing their best cross country results for many years and can look forward optimistically to the third round of the Gwent League, to be held in Taunton on Sunday next 6th December.

Cardiff teams are leading in the under 13 boys, under 15 boys, under 17 women and junior women categories.

Individually, under 15 boy Mike Ward is the star performer, having won both his opening races, at Bridgend and Bath, while Ava Hutchinson, who competes in the European Cross Country Championships in Dublin on 13th December, was first senior woman home in the last race, at Bath.

Vicky Barcello is lying second in the senior women's category, Zoe Thomas is also lying second in the under 17 category and John Cove is third in the under 13 category.

Because of the numbers competing, the club is organising a bus to go to Taunton; details to be found on the event page (click on upcoming fixture on the home page),
