Junior
Club Handicap 2012
[Sat
28th Apr 2012]
The conditions for this year's Junior handicap held on Monday
23rd April were bright and breezy, with a cold northerly wind for the
youngsters to run into for the final mile. The race was preceeded by a small
presentation of T-shirts and certificates to the Juniors who had represented
Northumberland at the County Sportshall Final at Sunderland earlier in the
year.
With over 40 Juniors, ranges ranging from 7 – 17 taking part the
start could be described as “organised chaos” without the organisation, the
first group were soon away and from then on it was a steady stream until Jake
and Chris were the last runners off, with the majority ignoring Kevin's
instruction to “take it easy at the start”. The race was won by newcomer Josh
Fiddaman, who steadily worked his way through the runners to build up a
commanding lead. Finishing second was Ellen Keenan who just beat Natalya in a
sprint finish, although Natalya was awarded second position as Ellen hasn’t
joined the club yet and was running as a guest. This meant that Connor Marshall
was awarded the trophy for third place.
Jake Jansen finished in 8th position and set a new
course record of 10:59 for the two mile distance, Charlie was the fastest girl
with a time of 13:02.
