26th January 2008	MIDLANDS CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS 2008 - LEAMINGTON
	Kate Holt (U15 girls) and Emma Jackson (U20 women) produced outstanding performances when it mattered to win their respective Midland Championship races. The U15 boys team also packed extremely well to earn a brilliant bronze.  Grace Mahoney ran another consistent race to finish in the top half of the U13 girls race. Dave Sheldon ran brilliantly for 6th place in the U13 boys, a placing matched by the U13 boys team. In the U15 girls behind Kate Holt, Sam Bailey ran well for a top 25 finish in a strong field. The U15 boys bronze medal winning team was led home by Tom Guy in 10th, at last getting the better of Nathan Ainsworth in a cross country race this season. Nathan finished an excellent 12th only a couple of seconds behind Tom. With Joe Broome and the rapidly improving Luke Kinch packing well this team shows considerable promise. In the U17 women Chloe Green ran very well for 35th, closely followed by Kate Anderson. The U17 men were led home by Josh Kinch in 23rd, another athlete who has shown a big improvement this year, and it was good to see this age-group at the club finish a team. Emma Jackson is reported by UK Athletics to have had a fall on her way to an emphatic victory in the U20 women's race. That kind of strength and commitment bodes well for another outstanding summer on the track. Clare Booker was our sole representative at senior level and she performed well, just missing out on a top 50 placing. It is sad to see no U20 or senior male competitors from the club, but hopefully once the squad gets over the shocking round of injuries suffered over the last 6 months we will bounce back with a much stronger showing next year.
