LCL Race 3: Wimbledon Common

Round 3 of 6: Wimbledon Common

Thanks to everyone who raced in or organised race 3 of the season! Wimbledon Common was looking glorious in fading Autumnal sunshine and the course was muddy underfoot. A tough, undulating and twisty course with good hills makes it a great test for true cross country runners.

Ladies Race

Claire Arnold of St mary's won the race in a rapid 18:18, second was Melissa Courtney of Brunel (18:38) and third was Georgie Ball of St Mary's (18:49).

The top ten then ran: Sidnie Sales (St Mary's), Gemma Astin (St Mary's), Sarah Astin (St Mary's), Beth Wynn (St Mary's), Isabel Brinsden (Royal Holloway), Abi Schofield (Bedford), Maria Blocher (King's).

Ladies team result

King's had another strong team performance with Maria Blocher, Laura Dransfield and Shannon Colman in 10th, 12th and 14th respectively.
