Penistone
Footpath Runners & AC organised the Yorkshire Vets Cross Country
Championships at Wentworth Castle last Saturday. Although the
weather was fine, the wet weather preceding the event made the course muddy in
places making it a good test over the 10K course for the
Championship. Mike Egner had a great run and won the vet 55
category, finishing in 6th place overall in the vet 50 to 69
race. Along with Mick Quinn and Steve Storey, Mike also led
the Club to the first team medals in that race in the vet 50 to 59
category. Steve Frith, Dave Needham and Bob Innes ran in the
same race and took the third team medals in the vet 60 to 69 category.
In the Ladies 5K race, Nicky Spinks finished as 2nd vet 45, finishing in
11th place overall. Results were Ladies 5K race : 11, N
