| Drew's good running technqiue |
Well done to the Under 13 team of athletes Megan Anderson, Helen Anderson, Louise Brown and Drew Gordon and solo Under 15 Boy Alistair Crawford for representing the Harriers at this years National XC Championship.
The young athletes started preceedings with the under 13 Boys and we were representated by race regular Drew Gordon running 3200 metres in a time of 18:12 making this a course best by 1 second showing he is fine steady performer and displaying good running technique (see picture) well done Drew.
Next to run was our under 13 Girls trio of Helen, Megan and Lousie who were all debuting at this event showing they have strong desire to compete. First Harrier home was Megan in a time of 18:24 followed closely by Louise in 18:39 then Helen in 19:33. All three are were good times with Helen being the biggest improver. At the West District XC she was 2 minutes down on her time to Megan and Louise and now she is only a minute down so well done Helen.

| Alistair |
Our only under 15 boy running 4000 metres course was Alistair Crawford in his first year in this age category. Alistair is returning to form after breaking his colllar bone (I think) and recorded a good time of 17:58. This time is on par with the under 15s from last year so I am sure Alistair will improve more next year with more training and better fitness.
Any of the other young athletes that are interested in competing in these type of events please feel free to ask any of the coaches how to get involved.
Thank you to Andy and Frances for setting up the tent for the young athletes.
