Well done to Quinn and Monty on becoming county champions; and to Daragh and Ralph for qualifying for the English Schools Championship. The result qualified them all to race at the ESAA Cross Country Championships representing Oxfordshire which came 9th overall. On 3 February our crews took part in the Wycliffe Big Head, providing the first opportunity for all age groups to race against national competition before Schools Head of the River in March. It was a promising start to the season with all our crews performing well. Particular congratulations to the J15 8+ who became joint winners in a dead heat with Wallingford.
