Oxfordshire Grand Prix Series 2007 ~ Round 3 Update

Last updated: Tuesday, 8 May, 2007

Sorry for the lateness of these results from the County Road Relays. I’ve been away.

White Horse Harriers chalked up their first win in the Men’s competition since the Grand Prix started, but Witney’s second place put them above Woodstock overall. Headington’s win at Hook Norton brings them level with Alchester at the top of the Women’s competition.

Among the individuals Jill Gibson of Woodstock is the surprise women’s leader after three rounds of consistently good performances. Tony Lock extended his lead over Simon Pritchard in his bid to retain the men’s individual trophy.
