There were reduced numbers on the start line for the penultimate match in the Boston BADAC series of junior cross country events held on Saturday morning.

Conditions were ideal with races held over a very firm dry meadowland surface in mild, still dry weather.

In the years one and two race over 600m, Mia Clark-Atkins (BADAC) set off confidently and held on to win handsomely in a new PB time of 2 mins 43 secs.

Second across the finish line was Henry Westwell (Bicker School) who recorded 2 mins 59 secs, followed by teammates Emily Fisher (3 mins 16 secs) and Chloe Fisher (3 mins 28 secs).

Running over approximately 1,200m, Jack Clark-Atkins (BADAC) won comfortably in 3 mins 42 secs.

Over the same distance, Erin Norton (BADAC) maintained good momentum throughout and improved to record a very encouraging 4 mins 16 secs.

The final match in the Junior Cross Country Series is on Saturday, March 16, with registration from 9.30am in preparation for a 10am start.
