The photo shows Simon Kinson of Leamington C&AC with Robert Pinton of Solihull&SmallHeath who, like Nick, Brian, Pat&Eddie in the previous blog, have served the County for most or all of this century. Its a pleasure to recognise people who have shown so much support for the County and its athletes and for so long.
The photo shows Nick Price of the BRAT club, Brian Higson of RSCAC and Pat and Eddie Cockayn of Birchfield Harriers with an award presented by Becky Freeman of Solihull&SmallHeath AC (immediate Past President of WCAA) which recognises their exceptional service to the County. They have served as Cross Country team managers at the Inter County Championships for almost or over 20 years. Truly the backbone of the sport.
The individual star of the Inter County Cross Country Championships was Alex Adams who took the U15 Boys bronze medal. The picture shows Alex with the winner, Lewis Sullivan of Suffolk and the runner up, Christopher Perkins of the North Eastern Counties. Alex said “Very tough race in a high quality field. Gave everything in the last 100m or so to get away and come in front of Ben for the first time and to podium. Good conditions but a muddy course made it hard to get into a nice rhythm but that’s the joy of cross country. Apart from that really enjoyed it “
One to watch for the future.
