Welwyn Met League
Posted by Membership Secretary on 16 January 2024
We had a smaller team than last time, with injuries, illness and competition load taking their toll but it was a fun event with the surface surprisingly good for running, particularly compared to last year's race at Welwyn. The senior's course also turned out to be 0.5km longer than last year which was a bit of a surprise for amongst others the team manager!
It was another strong performance from the U13 girls team, taking 1st, 3rd and 21st. With four 1st place finishes, Ellina is now guaranteed to be the overall season winner in the U13 girls. The junior women's team of had their best result of the season, coming in 7th, including a strong 12th. Our final women's representative, ran solo in the senior/ U20s race, coming in 7th U20.
The junior men's team had individual performances of 40th, 52nd and 71st (36th U15).
Finally, in the senior men's race, Trevor won the battle of the old men by 5 secs, finishing 17th in the V55, his highest finish of the season.
The final Met League race is on Saturday 10th February. We are usually a bit light in numbers for this fixture so it would be great to get as many as possible running.
