Hallamshire Girls Glitter at Yorkshire Cross Country Championships

 

On Saturday 5th January 2008, Hallamshire Harriers Ladies achieved almost a clean sweep of the team medals at the Yorkshire Cross Country Championships, held at Fartown, Huddersfield.  A deceptively tough course proved to be exceptionally challenging, so it was especially pleasing to record multiple successes.  The Under 13 Girls, Under 15 Girls and Senior Women all won Team Gold.  The Under 17 Women joined them with Silver:  Rotherham having taken this Gold medal, with an superb 1,2,3.

Six Hallamshire ladies can expect a Yorkshire County selection by finishing in the top six individual places.  Hannah Fletcher, Clare Wilsher (U13G);  Calli Thackery (U15G);  Kelly Hewitson (U17W);  Julia Russell, Lizzie Adams (SW).

 

Their male counterparts did not enjoy the same level of team success, with 4th places for the Under 17 and Senior Men.  Andy Heyes can also expect a Yorkshire call up after finishing 4th in the Junior Men’s race.
