Cross Country

Barlby's Cara Greaves produced an excellent run in awful conditions to finish 46th out of 330 in the English School's Cross-Country Championships at Cheltenham.

Greaves was the only year eight in the county team at year nine level and her result was the best of any North Yorkshire boy or girl in the Junior and Intermediate age groups.

The course was a slippery mud bath and a large number of runners dropped out, particularly in the junior girls' race.

Of the other York School athletes in the county team, Matthew Speake (Joseph Rowntree) had a good run to finish 121st in the Inter boys race. Sandy Cowan (St Peter's) was 178th in that race.

Paul Priestly (Bootham) was 255th in the junior race and Charlotte Bleasdale (Tadcaster) 167th in the junior girls.

Runners from outside the area schools, but who compete for Nestle Rowntree AC, were Nicola Timmins 184th, Christina Emslie 197th, and Emily Watts 241st.

Some of the races can be viewed on Channel 4 at 1.10pm on Sunday.
