CITY of York Athletic Club produced three impressive team displays in the Saucony English National Cross Country Relays at Berry Hill Park in Mansfield.
The wet and muddy conditions meant it was hard going under foot, but York’s junior men adapted well to finish 10th.
Luca Parker clocked 9mins 28secs for the opening 3km leg, handing over in 26th place.
Alex Botterill (9.32) took York up to 18th before Angus McMillan (9.18) sealed the top-10 finish.
Fielding what was probably their strongest team possible, York’s senior men secured a club-best 32nd place.
Dan Cheeseman ran the slightly shorter opening 5km leg in 16.56 to place 29th.
His start was consolidated on the last three legs by the consistent running of George Phillips (18.36), Alex Dickinson (18.40) and Tim Stratton (18.25).
York’s senior women also had a strong showing to place 45th as Charlotte Mason ran a storming opening 3k leg in 11.09.
Ella Eadon (13.32) and Megan Ledden (13.31) ran within 0.45 seconds of each other on the last two legs.
