CHILTERN LEAGUE, Match 1, St Albans, October 11

The former roman settlement of Verulamium Park saw hosts St Albans stage the opening match, with Jed Noblett moving up from second in the final match of last winter to stage victory for Bedford & County.

His club also won the all-important senior men’s team race but Chiltern Harriers, with a stronger women’s performance, led the league after this first match.

In the senior women’s event, it was Freyer Weddell, who was second at the Reading Half-Marathon this year in 75:19, having a comfortable victory over Elle Roche for St Albans.

The younger age groups saw Elliott Langley-Aybar, the English National cross-country fourth placer, take the under-15 race but it was close as Bicester’s Leo Blyton was just a few metres down at the line.

There were nearly 1300 runners competing here, a number that included over 100 under-11s, as league numbers increased considerably from the final match of last winter.

Men: 1 J Noblett (Lut) 32:06; 2 W Lindsay (St Alb) 32:42; 3 S Winters (Bed C) 32;54; 4 M Kotrys (Bed C, U20) 34:12; 5 J {Pocock (Mil K) 33;16; 6 C Lambert (Mil K) 33:59

HAMPSHIRE LEAGUE, Match 1, Bournemouth, Dorset, October 11

The league again ventured outside of the Hampshire County boundaries and King’s Park played host.

The senior men’s race saw a runaway winner as Lachlan Wellington returned from studying in the USA, where he ran a 28:41.60 10,000m, and easily reproduced his form with victory over an Aldershot trio.

Before leaving for the USA, Wellington was South of England cross-country champion in 2019, the year that he also placed fifth in the English Schools event.

Here, it was junior Onjoro Sumba, who led Aldershot’s men to the team plaudits.

Elsewhere, there club generally gave the event a miss, preferring to concentrate on the championships coming up ahead.

In the women’s race, Reading AC duo Mia Waldmann and Victoria Hiscock headed a Winchester Running Club team winning trio that was led by Helen Hall.

In the younger age groups, South West AA 3000m and Schools cross-country champion Isabel Cherrett won the under-17 women’s race by almost a minute.

There was another big winner in the under-15 girls’ race as Naomi Walmsley won for Aldershot by 38 seconds after moving up from second in the final match last winter.

Men: 1 L Wellington (Ports) 29:09; 2 O Sumba (AFD, U20) 29:47; 3 L Stone (AFD) 30:00; 4 W Smith (AFD, U20) 30:09; 5 T Aspin (Soton) 30:11; 6 C Hudson (Soton U) 30:21

KENT CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE, Match 1, Foots Cray, October 11

Tonbridge AC again dominated the senior men’s race as Ted Higgins headed twin brother Jack, as Blackheath & Bromley’s Jack Shayler took third.

It was a bit of a procession in the senior women’s race as Chloe Taylor-Costin triumphed with a solid margin over Blackheath team-mate Hannah Clark, with Anna Weston a distant third for Invicta East Kent.

In the younger age groups, Emery Aldridge carried on where he left off last winter with another under-15 boys’ victory, whilst Blackheath & Bromley team mate Joseph Scanes, the English Schools 3000m champion, took the combined under-20/under-17 race.

MANCHESTER LEAGUE, Match 1, Stockport, October 11

On a sunny autumnal afternoon, the University of Manchester’s Arlo Ludewick, won the first of the Manchester Area Cross Country League races after a close tussle with training partner Nigel Martin, Stephen Green reports.

Ludewick was always prominent in a large group which also included Alex Ediker and Ryan Worland. As the race progressed, Ludewick and Martin gradually pulled clear of Ediker.

On the flattish area following the final severe climb through the valley, Ludewick used his 3:57 mile speed to break the tape six seconds to the good, with Ediker in third, leading Salford to a team win.

Emily Haggard-Kearney, who was fastest in the Northern road relays, used her trademark front running tactics to superb effect.  The Warriors’ athlete looked untroubled through the steep descents and climbs to pull almost a minute clear of Trafford’s Bethany Reid, who in turn was a similar distance ahead of teammate Jacqui Fairchild.

The under-17 boys' race was won by Finlay Dobson-Emma leading a Trafford quartet home. Warriors Isla Pastor Evans was twelve seconds clear of Poppy Branch, with Imogen Dunning, third in the under-17 women’s section.

Alistair Riley edged Stockport Harriers teammate Harry Shatwell in the U15 boys' race, with Noah Phillips in third place.

The younger age groups saw Warriors take all three of the girls’ team races, with Isla Yorke repeating her win from the final match of last winter in the under-15s.

START FITNESS MET LEAGUE, Match 1, Claybury, London, October 11

Liam Dee, brother of Jamie Dee, who won the previous Met League senior race in February, went away from Flurry Grierson and Roger Poolman, after the second of two laps of three, Alastair Aitken reports.

Dee, who had run two sub-4 minute miles indoors in the United States and the son of ex-international Billy Dee, who advises him, works for an independent running shop in various capacities, and said “The hills are so steep at Claybury you are not recovering going down them. I kept my effort at an even pace as possible and not overcooking myself on the hills."

He ran a 13:46 for 5000m in 2021 but felt he could do even better when in shape. He has been doing more road running than track recently.

Grierson, who was second, said: "I was an orienteer before I took up athletics and, I was surprised to eventually come third in the senior National this year as, I had never run in a National cross country before.”

Highgate Harriers are favourites to win the League for the 14th year in succession but cannot take that for granted as Victoria Park & Tower Hamlets are close behind and in the women’s section have an even better chance of possibly overhauling London Heathside after winning at Claybury with their’ B’ team in 3rd place overall.

In the men’s race it is worth noting that the oldest runner, Richard Bloom, at 80, was 402 of 410 finishers. It was good to msee Paul Martelletti as the first ‘over 45’ in 35th place, as he won or placed in the Met League several times, a few years ago.

Ciara Boyd-Squires Long, who came from Australia just over a year ago, was a comfortable winner of the women’s race. She ran 2:45 for the Berlin Marathon and is a PE teacher.

The oldest woman was home international Sabina Russell, the first W60 in 46th off the 165 finishers.

Two clear junior winners were Sonnie Allen in the 15-17 age group and Arjuna Pflug in the junior equivalent. He had only been doing three weeks training after injuries but, under the coaching of Chris Rainsord and Hannah Viner, has been winning all his under 15 age group races and now, looks forward after the confidence of his win in the Met League for the London Youth Games.

Another future prospect is Joshua Maiden, 12, who won the under 13 boys, leading for the last part of the race.

SURREY LEAGUE Div 1, Match 1A, Hurst Green, October 11

The top flight divisions in both the men’s and women’s sections embraced a new venue as newly promoted men’s team Holland Sports played host.

Jack Kavanagh won all of his division two races last winter and extended his Surrey League victories by comfortably heading Herne Hill’s Sam Branwell as Thames Hare & Hounds second claimer Jack Miller took third.

He also led Thames to a solid team win over Belgrave Harriers, who had won the final match of last season. Back then they failed to prevent holders Hercules Wimbledon from taking the league title again. It was all different in this first match as Hercules slumped to sixth, 300 points down on Thames.

Making his debut for Belgrave Harriers was English Schools’ cross-country champion Alex Lennon as, after switching from Sutton & District, placed fifth overall for top under-20 but less than a minute down on the winner.

Ruby Carter won overall for Hercules Wimbledon in the women’s race but, behind, second placed Juliet Hodder headed Belgrave team mate Emma Bradley as their club dominated in the team stakes with their five scorers in the top eight home.

In the younger age groups, Herne Hill’s Skyla O’Brien continued where she left off last winter with another under-13 girls’ victory.

For the boy’s, team mate Caspian Holmes won the combined under-17 and under-15 race as the younger Theo Creed, of Hercules Wimbledon, just lost out.

However, an under-15 did win the same aged girls’ race as Emily Davenport narrowly took the honours.

SURREY LEAGUE, Match 2, Richmond Park, October 11

Richmond Park has been a banker venue for many years as Ranelagh Harriers home venue but this winter, it hosts the lower divisions of the league, and here they bounced back from relegation to win the opening men’s Division 2 match from Woking. However, it was Croydon’s Ben Chapman who took the individual honours.

For the women, divisions two and three raced together and it was Jodie Judd, the younger sister of Jess who came out on top.

Judd won by almost a minute, from Walton’s Charlotte Ryan, in her first race back in the UK after spending time in America.

Unfortunately, the Sussex cross-country Relay results from then are still not available.

The women’s race again also included the under-17 women and Molly Smithers, who was11th in the under-17 English national, came out on top albeit by just five seconds over Milly Dickinson as the rest of the field were nearly a minute down.

In the younger races, Isabella Buchanan, the delayed 2024 English National under-13 runner-up, continued where she left off last year and again won the under-15 girls’ event.
