PECO Round 1 Temple Newsam.

Its that time of year, mud glorious mud oh and throw in some hills and running for your club.  Yep the PECO cross country season has started with round one being at Temple Newsam.

It was a record turnout of 456 men and 341 ladies.  The Hyde Park Harriers had a decent turnout of 50 runners (31 men and 19 ladies).  We have 95 registered for numbers going into the first round and another 5 or 6 to add on going forward.  For a club of less than 200 to have over 100 members registering there interest in this championship is a great showing.  We knew there was a few missing from round 1 but still we put up a great effort.

It was a one lap course and had a nice mix of up and down and a good amount of mud thrown in.  A lot of people found the last hill hard going and the final stretch into the finish was hard going in the soft ground.

Liam O’Brien made a storming start but stich was to slow him down, leaving Stan Karanasios to lead the HPH men home in 36th place.  Liam came next with Scott Watson a few seconds behind.

  

In the ladies Rebecca Rogers was first HPH hone in 32nd with Caroline Young 2nd and Lucy Rider 3rd.

 

The results are below, the top 8 men score points for the championship and the top 5 ladies.  We also have 2nd teams scoring which is the next 8 and 5.

So after round 1 the men are 5th out of 7 in the Premier division with Valley Striders leading the way.  In the ladies 1st division St Theresa’s AC took top scores with the HPH ladies coming 5th out of 7.

In the 2nd teams, the mens were 3rd and the ladies 11th.

A great effort all round and as always great to see so many stopping to cheer the whole team home.

   

 

 

Round 2 is at West Park on the 13th December, hopefully we can get even more of you wonderful Hyde Park Harriers out.

Many thanks to Philip Bland for the action shots.
