Five Trafford AC young athletes were on the Greater Manchester Team that travelled to Birmingham for the UK Inter Counties Cross Country Championships last Saturday. Each county was allowed 8 athletes in each race. Places were on offer for the Great Britain Team in the World Cross Country Championships in China next month.
Danny Lawton improved his 40th position in the National to finish 32nd on this occasion in the Under 20 race. Unfortunately Zak Miller, who was one of the potentials to make the Great Britain team, was unable to finish the course.
Matt Sutton, making his county debut, finished a solid 151st in the Under 17 event.
Best performance by a Trafford athlete probably went to Jack Wilkinson, who improved from 250th early on in the Under 15 race, to finish 63rd and first counter for Greater Manchester. Colin Daly featured well up at the beginning of the same race but faded to 152nd.
Zak, Danny & Jack move on to represent Greater Manchester Schools at the English Schools Championships at Blackburn next Saturday, with Matt and Colin as 1st reserves for the county team.
