Last Wednesday, the senior cross country team ran in the 54th King Henry VIII Relays. The six leg, 3.7km course is run on mixed terrain around War Memorial Park in Coventry and draws its field from all over England. All six athletes ran strong legs, with Monty returning from injury to record our fastest leg of the day (11.38). Fourth Year debutant Edward continued his superb season form to power round in 12.19 to set up an exciting finish. After 73 minutes of racing, only 28 seconds separated the four schools who trailed eventual winners Loughborough College. Ralph brought us home in fourth place; a strong result to go with (6th, 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the past three years). Congratulations to Quinlan, Hugh and Harry too. The team were delighted to receive their cup and medals from 400m Diamond League final winner, Charlie Dobson.
