Gloucester AAA County Championships. A day of
outstanding performance for FODAC
U11 Boys Its hard to believe that this entire team is made up of new
club athletes or that many of these athletes were running their first cross
country race. The future looks good in the hands of James Piercy (who
claimed the individual silver medal), Josh Mathews (who claimed the
individual bronze), Harry Wise, Charles Heawan, Sam Wallis Ashley Parcell
and Rory Gordon. Forest of Dean AC won the u11 boys team silver medal
u11 Girls Lauren Wallis had a particularly fantastic race, she beat all
her rivals some for the first time ever, to claim the gold medal to become
the u11 County Champion. Bailey Summers, Katie Kersey and Tara Sladen
finished out of the individual medals but together with Lauren they brought
the team home in the gold medal position to make the Forest of Dean AC the
u11 girls team county champions.
u13 boys Andrew Evans, Connor Creed, Josh Dowle were up against it in
this age group, with only Connor being among the older athletes, they still
managed to claim the team bronze medal though.
u13 girls The team led by Emily Dowle, (who claimed the individual
silver medal), along with Phoebe Crawley, Sadie Melhuish and Laura Taylor
combined to win the overall gold medal to make the Forest of Dean AC the u13
girls team county champions.
u17 boys Freek van Arkle, got into a real battle with a
Cheltenham athlete but he managed to claim the gold medal and to claim his
first County Championship.
u17 girls Eleanor Dow was once again the lone Forest of Dean AC
athlete. She finished just outside the medals. |
