Selection for English Schools Cross Country Championships
The Cross Country season at Clayesmore is gathering pace with yet another round of success, this time at the Dorset and South West Schools Championships. Eight Prep and Senior school runners, selected from the Dorset trials earlier in the month, competed in Truro at the weekend. Ella Morley, Toto Gandiya, Andy Smith, Beth Cramer, Steffi Wilson, Jess Belford and Olivia Frost all ran for Dorset against the best 10 from Avon, Cornwall, Devon, Gloucester, Somerset and Wiltshire.
Pupils from year 8 upwards can be selected from this event to go the English Schools Championships to be held at Heaton Park, Manchester on Saturday 20th March. Three Clayesmore runners were successful: Andy Smith (year 8) Junior Boys; Beth Cramer (year 10) Intermediate Girls and Jess Belford (L6) Senior Girls will represent Dorset at the Championships. Each county in England sends its best eight runners and there are over 300 runners in each race.
Congratulations to all our South West runners and good luck to Andy, Beth and Jess at the English Schools Championships.
