Senior Mens Race

Nathan White continued to enhance his status with a superb victory in the second match in the Apex Sports Chiltern Cross Country League series, notching his first ever victory in the Senior Mens Race. Nathan has worked his way up the system with wins in all the age groups, but this was his first win at Senior level though officially still in the Under 20 category. His time o34m15 secs was over 40 secs clear of the second man home, WSEH’s Owain Jones, coming back from injury with his 34m57 clocking. Another of WSEH’s promising U20’s Ian May was next across the line in 12th place, and yet another WSEH U20, Alex Tovey was 21st in 37m04. Thjere was a gap before Tim Haughian appeared in 62nd spot in 39m43 but another of WSEH’s U20 athletes, Luke Turton was close on his heels in 65th place in 39m48. There was a long wait before the next WSEH athlete finished, Mike Ashmore coming home in 179 th place. Disappointingly WSEH were short of three runners to complete the team.
