Last Saturday saw over 400 athletes take part in the Greater Manchester Schools Cross Country Championships on a waterlogged and incredibly muddy course in Longford Park. The weather was atrocious, but many Trafford AC members braved the conditions and gained coveted places in the county team for the English Schools Cross Country Championships in Nottingham next month.
The only Trafford girl on the County team will be Beth Donnelly who finished 4th in the Senior Girls (Years 12/13) race and will now have ran at the English Schools at all 3 age groups.
Making their debuts for the Senior Boys (Years 12/13) County Team are Matt Sutton (5th) and Mac O'Malley (8th) who were rewarded for their hard training throughout the winter months.
Trafford's best performances came in the Inter Boys (Years 10/11) race where Colin Daly reached his third English Schools Championships with an excellent 2nd place. He was closely followed by Xav O'Hare (3rd) and Jack Wilkinson (5th) who both make the team a year under age.
In the Junior Boys (Years8/9) race, Joe Bentall continued his recent excellent form to finish 4th and gain his first County vest.
Running the Minor Boys (Year 7) race, Tom Bentall (2nd) and Oliver Choi (4th) showed that even though there is no county team for this age group, their performances promise well for future years.
