Other members representing the county were Holly Watson 71st and Lucy Nuttall 127th in the U17 age group, and veteran Rebecca Luxton 85th, Rachel Broome 105th, Megan Williams 154th and Hannah Bolton 159th in the Senior Women’s event (both Rachel and Hannah are in fact U20’s).
On the male side Jacob Parrott placed 25th in the U13 event, Thomas Woodward 57th and Samuel Waite 85th for the U20’s and Zach Bridgeland 116th in the Senior Men’s race.
Top honours, of course, go to Megan Harris, who continued her outstanding season by claiming the UK U20W title!
