PECO Round 4 – Hyde Park Harriers

The 4th round of the PECO Cross Country championship saw us heading to Golden Acre park for a 2 lap course. Different format this time out with the Ladies going first giving the Men chance to cheer them on and the Ladies were then out in force to return the complement.

A good course with plenty of mud again especially in the bottom field. Hyde Park Harriers were out in force again even if the numbers were slightly down due to people being away and a few injured. We had 20 men and 24 ladies out this time and it was great to see some new faces.

The men’s team were 6th out of 7 in the Premier division. Stan Karanasios lead the men home in 27th only one place and 6 seconds ahead of George Anderson. Anthony Aimon wasn’t far back in 32nd with Colin Tranter, Scott Henderson, Gary Grant, Farhad Hamad and Aron Hinds scoring for the A team.

Helen Close lead home the ladies in 30th place as they finished 5th out of 7 in the 1st division. Caroline Young was 51st, with Nicola Shenton, Lucy Rider and Jennifer Gridley scoring for the ladies team.

After 4 rounds the men are equal 4th in the Premier division and are in a great fight with Saltaire for that 4th place. The ladies are in what looks like a safe 5th out of 7 in the 1st division.

In total we have had an excellent 83 runners take part in a Peco round, and it would be great to have our biggest turnout yet at the final round on the 14th at Roundhay Park.

Thanks to Phil Hammond for the photos and Ian Watson for the group shot.
