Some great results at road relays at Abingdon
today.
U15 Girls – Rose Lord led off on first leg, coming home in second place closely followed by Zoe Pollock on first leg of the B team. Tia Williams took over, had a storming run coming back in first place to hand over to Emily Thompson, who is never going to relinquish a lead and finished in first place by a big margin and was also rewarded with quickest girls leg of the day. The B team were brought home by Lizzie Westley and Grace King.
U15 Boys – Owen Knox led off and came back in a very creditable second place despite being the youngest member of the team. Jake Stickley had a good second leg, keeping Abingdon within his sight before handing over to Gregor Kelling on the last leg who couldn’t make anything on the Abingdon runner who had the quickest boys leg of the day. A very good second place. Our B team of Oskar Moyaert, Angus Pollock and Stan Bull had a hard task performing against boys up to 3 years their senior, but all performed well and ones to watch for future teams.
We also had a senior ladies, senior mens and vet mens team in – will let you know the results once in. Hard to sort as all running together!
