WHILE individual honours were spread across Leicestershire and Rutland at the 2010 Leicestershire Primary Schools County Cross Country Championships, it was the South Leics team, underpinned by victories in all the girl’s team categories, that took the Overall team championship title for the third consecutive year.

This exciting finale to the primary schools cross-country season, contested by almost 600 of the leading runners of 10 Area teams, was held at Rutland Water and superbly organised by the Rutland Area in collaboration with Anglian Water.

In the Year 4 girl’s race, Eleanor Here (South Charnwood) added another County crown to the league title she won earlier this year. Her main league rivals, Lottie Edwards and Tess Fisher, finished second and third respectively but had the pleasure of leading the South Leics team to their first team title of the morning.

Jack Pollack from the home team Rutland won the corresponding boy’s race chased hard by current league Champion, Harry Allen (South Leics) and Frankie Philpott (R ). Rutland won the team event in this category.

South Leics dominated the Year 5 girl’s contest as they packed 6 runners in the top 18 positions. Sophie Domingo stepped up from the second place she took last year to win her first County crown to sit alongside her two league titles. Francesca Green (L) and Naimh Watson (SL) were the other podium placings.

Similarly, Marcus Rowland (M) raced to his first County victory to go with his pair of league titles. Joe Pollard (NWL) and Archie Banks (L) took individual silver and bronze. Simran Thandi (4th.) just missed out on an individual medal but won gold with his Hinckley team.

Year 6 girls, Lucy Jones (H), Caitlin Roper (SL) and Elizabeth Mulvaney (L) have had some great battles as they have carved up 4 league and 3 County Championship titles between them over the past 4 years. On this occasion Lucy took the honours ahead of this year’s league winner, Caitlin, with Elizabeth (who had won the previous two County titles) in third place. Once again Caitlin continued the South Leics gold rush as her team won their third successive team award at each of the age groups.

With another dominant piece of running Ben Dijkstra (L) joined Hannah Cox at the top of the L.P.S.A.A. role of honour for the most successful runners in its history. He claimed victory in the Year 6 boy’s event and, in doing so, maintained an unbeaten record throughout 4 years of league and County races. This outstanding runner now holds four league titles, three County crowns and a host of area titles. With his training partner and rival, Alfie Thompson, picking up a silver medal ahead of Harry Freeman ( R) Ben also led his Loughborough squad to a team triumph.

HANNAH Nuttall, the reigning Midlands Under-13 cross-country champion led the Leicestershire & Rutland team to a fine podium place to highlight the performances by the county’s top young talent at the 2010 McCain UK Challenge Inter-Counties Championships in Birmingham.

Over the undulating and testing Cofton Park course in front of the Sky Sports cameras, Nuttall, daughter of former British international’s Alison Wyeth and John Nuttall, finished with a top-twenty place as the Charnwood athlete clocked a time of 11:42 in the 3km race impressively won by Hampshire’s Katie Rowe in 11:19.

Nuttall’s performance combined with Leicestershire team mates 
Mari Smith (22nd in 11:43), Hannah Cox (29th in 11:50) 
and Emily Hollis (36th in 11:55) secured the bronze medals for the county behind winners Essex and runners-up the North East.

In the individual age-groups performance of the day for Leicestershire came from the emerging talent of the Coritanians Amy Griffiths finishing in 8th place in the Under-15 girls 4km race with a time of 15:40 as Essex’s Jessica Judd won in 14:52.

In the men’s races the OWLS ever-improving Sam Stabler led the way clocking 26:12 to finish 11th in a very competitive Under-20 8km race won by Richard Goodman (Middlesex) in 25:04.

Sunday 28th February 2010

LAURA Samuel representing Leicester Coritanian AC has set a United Kingdom Under-20 record of 12.74 metres to win triple jump gold at the Aviva England Age Group Championships in Birmingham.

Saturday 13th February 2010

NEARLY 300 young athletes braced the cold albeit dry weather, at the scenic Foremark Reservoir to compete in Ivanhoe Robins Athletics club annual junior cross-country event.

The event, sponsored by Aldi, attracted its strongest field yet with many of the regions top runners fighting for position.

The day started well for the Robins with the clubs George Fielding claiming first place in the year 1/2 boys race. The Robins continued to demonstrate their talent with Isobel Armstrong running a tactically brilliant race to take first place in the year 3/4 girls. Isobel was ably supported by Holly Powell in 4th and Jasmine Stevens in 11th to take first team prize. Holly only year 3 looks well placed to step into Isobel’s shoes next year. Robins Millie Shaw, Leah Smith and Mia Rawlings came in strongly to take second team prize.

The medal haul continued for the Robins with Megan Lewis (9/10 girls), James Collington (Year 11 and over boys) and Lucy Arkinstall Year 11 and over girls) all running strongly over a tough two mile course to take bronze.

The Robins year 7/8 boys showed strength in numbers taking both team places. Zach Meakin, Nathan Lewis and Tom Riley (1st). Jake Shaw, Oliver Evans and George Roberts 2nd.

The day ended as it began for the club with Hannah Cox leading from start to finish storming home strongly to win gold in the year 7/8 girls. The girls also claimed 2nd team prize with Hannah, Abbie Williamson and Harriet Roberts.

WHEN a great turn out of 1,800 young athletes finished the first event of Leicestershire Primary Schools Athletics Association’s 2009 cross-country league in October it promised to be another record breaking year. However unfavourable weather conditions meant the cancellation of the last two races of the season and as a result the individual and league standings were decided on the outcomes of the first race.

Sophie Myatt (Holywell) and Blaine Banton (Measham) took their respective Year 3 titles.

Eleanor Here (St Bartholomews) added the Year 4 league title to the County Championship crown she won as a Year 3 while Harry Allen (Fleckney) won his second successive league trophy.

In the Year 5 category Sophie Domingo (St Cuthberts) and Marcus Rowland (Brownlow) maintained the top rankings they achieved in the previous season.

Caitlin Roper (John Wycliffe) took the Year 6 award ahead of last season’s Champion Lucy Jones (Martinshaw). Ben Dijkstra (Burton on the Wolds) has dominated his age-group and remains unbeaten since he began his cross country “career.” He has reigned supreme and won the full set of league titles from Year 3 to Year 6 – no other boy has done this in the history of the league.

Harby (Year 5 Girls small schools) and Frisby (Year 6 Girls small schools) recorded their first ever team triumphs. Fairfield Preparatory School won both Year 5 girls and boys large school team trophies in their debut season. Greenfield (Year 6 Girls large schools) and Manor (Year 6 Girls High School league) were the only schools to retain the trophies they won last year.

The Joey Masterson Challenge Trophy for best overall team, based on the aggregate score of all Year 5 and 6 results, was won by Leicester Grammar.

THE Aviva English Schools Inter-Counties meeting due to take place this coming weekend (6th February) at Shepshed High School has been cancelled.

This is due to the organiser Dave Driver being signed off work until 8th February due to a chest infection and quite a severe cough, following on from suspected swine flu.

Dave commenting on the decision writes: “Although I have done some theoretical work regarding the races Saturday, mainly sorting out courses on paper, I was expecting to be more hands on when I expected to return to school today (1st February), with maps, result sheets, result envelopes, sorting out ropes/tape etc for setting up the course, walking the courses to check current suitability, trawling through the many (90 or more) reply sheets which are probably in my tray at school and naming up all of the vests individually from the info I get from the reply slips. I have also not be able to get too many marshalls from school because of the two and a half weeks absence I have already had from school.

“I am certainly not a one man band, as a number of people have offered assistance on the day but I just cannot do what is required to make this event go without a hitch. I am also not allowed on the school site when in possession of a doctors medical note, as it includes weekend.

“So it is with huge regret that I am cancelling the event. Would you please pass on this decision to as many athletes, school teachers, teachers or coaches as you can.

“This will make selecting the English schools teams a little more difficult and I know some runners would have been hoping to put themselves forward but I cannot do anything about it.”

SOPHIE Coldwell and Hannah Nuttall led the way for Leicestershire’s young guns with title winning performances at the 2010 Midland Territorial Cross Country Championships with victory in the Under-15 and Under-13 girl’s races respectively at Stafford Common.

Sophie Coldwell (Charnwood) completed a tight victory in the Under-15 race by a margin of eight seconds ahead of Alice Wright (Worcester AC) in a time of 15mins 56secs with Amy Griffiths representing Leicester Coritanians third in 16:25.

Hannah Nuttall (Charnwood) led home a county 1-2 over the line in the Under-13 girl’s race winning in a time of 10:36 ahead of Leicester’s Mari Smith (10:45) with Lucy Holt (City of Stoke) securing third in 10:51.

In the Men’s Under-20 race Josh Norman (Owls) gained a podium place finishing in third place in 27:39 as Matt Clowes completed victory for the host club Staffs Moorlands in 27:15.

Norman’s fine performance laid the way for the Owls team of Danny Hallam, Paddy Radley, Sam Stabler to win the Under-20 team championship title.

FORMER British international cross-country athlete Dave Driver, Head of PE at Shepshed High School, received ’The Hilary Johnson Award’, at this years Leicester-Shire and Rutland PE and Sport Conference for his long service to PE and School Sport. The event was held on the 22nd September at Loughborough University

Presented by Baroness Sue Campbell CBE and Steve Smith (Olympic Bronze medallist in high jump from Atlanta 96) the award recognises Dave’s 33 years of involvement in PE and School Sport. Dave’s involvement has resulted in an increased number of sporting activities and opportunities that the students within the school can access, in both a leisurely and a competitive manner.

During his career he has been actively involved in North Leicestershire Schools Football Association and heavily involved in cross country across Leicestershire and Rutland from years 7 to 13, as well as supporting the primary schools County League. Now a School Sports Coordinator, Dave has been developing sporting experiences for students who attend Shepshed High School primary feeder schools.

After receiving the award, Dave talked a little about his role: “I enjoy organising the activities as I feel young people can get so much from sport. The years have flown by as it has been so much fun. Over the years I have had support from many people especially my wife, Lesley”.

Andy Reed MP, Chair of Leicester-Shire, and Rutland Sport, said: “It is important that we recognise the contribution our teachers make to our young people’s active lifestyle. Dave has showed dedication by providing opportunities both within school and outside school”.

Baroness Sue Campbell CBE, added: “It is wonderful to see someone who has done such a terrific job for PE and sport over many years, to be honoured in this way”.

A great turn out for the first event of Leicestershire Primary Schools Athletics Association’s 2009 cross-country league strengthened its status as the leading event of its kind in the Country. The 1,798 finishers was the fifth. best total in its long and distinguished history. In the Year 3 and 5 races the fields were all within 25 of their best ever totals with the Year 3 boys race just two runners away from overhauling 2007’s record number.

William Campion of Dixie Grammar was presented with a special medal for becoming the 13,000th. Year 3 Boy finisher since the league moved to an 8 race format in 1993. In the Year 5 Girls section, Yasmin Basamh (Stafford Leys) took home a presentation medal for becoming the league’s 8,000th finisher in her category while Ben Dexter (Ratcliffe College) was similarly honoured for becoming the 11,000th. Year 5 boy finisher.

Year 3 debutants, Sophie Myatt (Holywell) and Blaine Banton (Measham) took first place in their respective debut races.

In the Year 4 race County Champion Eleanor Here (St Bartholomews) finished ahead of last year’s league joint Champion, Tess Fisher (Claybrooke). In the corresponding boy’s event Harry Allen (Fleckney) made it a hat-trick of wins since his debut last year.

Sophie Domingo (Year 5 – St Cuthberts) began her campaign for another league title with a solid victory over Fairfield’s Francesca Green and the Watson twins,Niamh and Mollie from Clipston. In the boys race, last year’s Y4 Champion Marcus Rowland (Brownlow) led home Archie Banks (Fairfield) who had beaten him in the County Championships earlier this year.
