top <Oxford Mail XC League Round 5 – Appleton Rutherford Laboratory, Harwell ~ Sunday, 3 March 2013
In the final Oxford Mail Cross Country League fixture there was a lot to play for, with a number of the younger athletes in contention for prizes and the men’s team attempting to hold onto their place in the first division following their promotion last season. This was a new course for the Oxford Mail Cross Country League which was, on the whole, well–received. Thanks go to Abingdon Amblers AC for having laid on the event and also to EMC Medical Services for stepping in at the last moment to provide cover at the fixture.
Four top ten performances were achieved on the day. Thomas Kelly produced the performance of the day by finishing in 5th place in the U15/U17 Boys race. That result was sufficent to earn Thomas 3rd place overall in the Under 17 final standings. Anna Kelly, Thomas’ younger sister, finished in 10th place in the U11 race which meant that Anna was placed equal 11th in the overall standings.
Josie Harrison produced another consistent performance to finish in 10th place in the U15/U17 Girls race. This ensured overall victory for Josie in the Under 17 Girls category. Jonny Cornish was likewise able to settle the overall U20 Men’s title in his favour by leading the men home in 9th place overall (1st U20 Men). In addition, Ben Claridge’s 12th place overall in the U15/17 Boys race was sufficient to claim second place the overall Under 15 Boys standings.
With the respect to the team results, the U15/17 Boys team produced the leading result of the day by finishing in 4th place. Our ladies showed up in force for the final fixture of the season with the Ladies “A” team finishing in 8th place on the day to earn 2nd place overall in Division 3. The Ladies “B” team finished in 6th place in Division 3 on the day. The Men’s team, suffering from injuries and absentees, managed an improved result compared to Round 4 with 6th place in Division 1 this time round. However, the effort was unfortunately not sufficient to prevent the team from finishing bottom of the division.

With all the recent poor weather leading to the cancellation of the original date for the South of England Cross Country Championships, it was left to our younger athletes to represent the club. Just four White Horse Harriers undertook the trip to Parliament Hill Fields this year.

Dene Stringfellow was once again the sole representative for the Harriers at Wing in the final round of the Chiltern Cross Country League on Saturday, 9th February. The conditions were very heavy under foot, assuming you weren’t rendered immobile by the thick mud which at times approached knee–deep! Given the weather conditions in recent months it was hardly a surprise. It was very cold but at least there was no rain.
The course at Cottesloe School, Wing is fairly undulating and from start/finish area, just below the school, spectators enjoy a fantastic panorama of the whole course spread out below them.

With only two of the seven members of the scoring team from round 3 available for round 4 of the Oxford Mail League, White Horse Harriers hopes of survival in Division 1 were severely dented at Swindon on Sunday. The Men’s team posted its worst ever total – 675 points – in the 25 or so years that they have been competing in the League. Indeed it could have been even worse had there not been less than 200 finishers in the men’s race.
Only the two Under 20s, Jonnie Cornish (14th) and Mitch Lomas (36th), finished in the top 50. The best Harrier performances on the day came from Josie Harrison (U17) and Ben Claridge (U15) who both finishing 2nd in their respective age groups.
