Although there were some incompete teams, the younger Harriers represented the club in the U13, U15 and U17 age groups, running against some of the best clubs in the country.
The U17 Men fielded two teams, with the A Team of Chester Gately, Eli Cattermole and Ben Slow (who was making a welcomed return to competiton) finishing 37th out of 92 teams. The B Team of Henry Hallam, Matthew Booth and Daniel Hord finished in 72nd place.
Two of the U17 Women, Nia Harrison-Sargent and Annie Thorp had strong performances and were placed well up the field in their incomplete team.
The U15 Girls Team of Kitty Harrison-Sargent, Alesha and Lily Atkinson finished 62nd team out of 89, with Kitty finishing a strong first leg in 24th place.
The U15 Boys A Team of William Pickering, Harry Booth and Beau Clark came home in 48th place out of the 91 teams, with Albert Jones running the first leg for an incomplete B Team.
The U13 Boys were 55th out of 70 teams with James Sutcliffe, Alexander Weatherby and Maximus Cooper. Fleur Parkinson ran leg 1 in the U13 Girls race.
Well done to all who made the journey. The next Cross Country race will be the 3rd race in the West Yorkshire League on Sunday 10th November at Middleton Park, Leeds. Entries are being taken up to 7th November (see calendar page for more details).
The second West Yorkshire XC league race was held on a sunny autumnal day at Thornes Park, Wakefield on Sunday afternoon. Halifax Harriers were represented across all the age groups over the challenging hilly course.
The U11 girls were out in force and took 4th team place, with the U15 Boys doing one better to secure 3rd team place. In the Senior Womens race, Sarah Cumber and Katrina Oddy both won their respective age categories, placing well up in a quality field. The senior men fielded a full team again and all ran well to finish in 7th team place.
