Congratulation to all the Northern athletes and officials who helped to make a great success of the English National Cross Country Championships at Roundhay Park on 27th February. Given the poor weather leading up to the championships it was a great relief that on the day everything ran smoothly. Thanks to Leeds City Council for their invaluable help and support in staging this event. John Lunn and his team for providing us with another great course at Roundhay, and many others who helped make it a memorable day.
Border AC athlete Tom Farrell completed a very successful month of indoor racing with another UK under 20 indoor records.
Running at Iowa he finished in 3rd place over 5000m in 14 mins 12.62secs a new UK indoor record for an under 20. He was 50 seconds inside the previous record of 15 mins 04.04secs set in Bedford at AAA's U20's last summer. The 5000m can now be added to his 3000m record set on 13 February.
Tom is not planning to race again until the World XC Champs which is on Poland on 28th March, this though is subject to selection by UKA.
