Llanelli Athletic Club travelled to Blaise Castle, Bristol for the third race in the John Collins Gwent League Cross Country series. This is a testing course and was made particularly tough owing to a very strong gusting head wind on the open field section of the course and a really muddy section of woodland where athletes had to contend with tree roots and stones hidden in amongst the leaves and mud.
The under 15 boy’s team were lead home by Dylan Hopkins who was in fine form producing a fabulous sprint finish to over take 3 other athletes in the finishing straight. Maks Jania and Oliver Phillips also completed strong races over the 3.8Km course.
The senior women’s team battled over a longer 6.7km course, being lead home by Jessica Williams followed by mum Helen. Sylwia Lichon continues her run of tough competitions and was very impressive despite having raced hard in Newtown the previous weekend.
