A group of Trafford's distance young athletes travelled to London last weekend for the 128th National Cross Country Championships. The Championships were held on a muddy, challenging course at Parliament Hill Fields, the spiritual home of cross country running.
Marnie Mannion was the only girl in the group and she finished in a fine 188th place out of 433 athletes in the Under 13 Girls race.
In the Under 15 Boys, out of 164 clubs represented in the race, Trafford finished 28th team. In a field of 371 athletes, Colin Daly led the way in 66th place followed by Jack Wilkinson (120th), Mikey Kingston (288th) and Xavier O'Hare (299th).
Our sole representative in the Under 17 Boys event was Matt Sutton who continued his recent good form in finishing in 91st place.
However, top Trafford performances of the day were in the Under 20 Mens race where Richard Powell finished an excellent 19th followed by Danny Lawton in 40th.
Colin, Jack, Matt, Richard and Danny will now represent Greater Manchester in the UK Inter Counties Championships at Birmingham next month.
