Benfleet Under 11s Race
28th January 2012
Six Athletes from Braintree and District Athletic Club’s youngest age group
headed down to Hadleigh on Saturday for the U11 Cross country race on a
hilly 2k course. In perfect weather conditions the muddy course proved
tough going but the runners all equipped themselves
fantastically. First to
go were the girls, with Courtney Gordon leading the team back winning a
trophy for 2nd place. Next in was 9 year old Chloe May in 9th place,
followed by 10 year old Melissa Gurteen in 14th who and then Emily Sutton
(9) in 17th who finished strongly. The boys Matthew Challis and Elliot
Coulson both paced themselves evenly and placed well in a highly competitive
race. The Athletes received a well deserved medal for their efforts.
