Full results for all the great races at Wells on Sunday May 25th are here, but are still subject to change. Photographs are here. Well done to all the runners whether in the junior 500m race, the 1.2km race, the 5km race or the 10km race. If you want to get fitter, and faster, you can come and train with Wells City Harriers at their bases at Millfield School, Street, or at the Wells Rugby Club every week. We're a friendly Club with training sessions for juniors age 8 and upwards all the way up to age 78 - all ages and all abilities. See our Calendar to the left for details of training sessions, and costs. Many thanks to Harrier Andrew Deamer and the rest of the organising committee, and volunteers, for Sunday's races.
There was some great running by all, but inevitably the Harriers dominated the majority of the races. Harrier Luke Macpherson won the 1.2km road race for under 13s in a very fast 3.59, with Oliver Hutton home in 2nd in 4.37 and Will Pate not far behind in 4th with a 4.42 clocking. In the 5km race Alex Williams won in a nippy 18.04, with team-mate Josh Thorne 4th in 19.07. Caitlin Carnegie was 1st girl home in 19.34 (pb); Dylan Dukes 8th in 20.01; Heath Falck 11th in 20.18; Kieran Ensor 12th in 20.28 (pb);Megan Rusca 19th in 22.09, pacing her dad Mike Rusca 20th in the same time; Mike Rigby 24th in 23.21; James Forrester 32nd in 23.55(pb); Georgia Rogers 41st in 25.10; Louise & Jacqui Rusca , 65th & 66th respectively in the same time of 27.27. There were 184 finishers in the 5km race.
In the 10km race it was the same finish positions as at the recent Glastonbury races with Harrier Nathan Young winning in 33.47, and his younger brother Kieran exactly a minute behind in 2nd place. Tom Dukes completed the Harrier set with his 3rd place finish in 35.44. The Harrier boys forgot to enter the team race together so forfeited the team prize to the Somer AC team! James Williams was 1st u17 athlete in 14th place with 40.15; new member Andrew Tindal 15th in 40.21; Andy Piper 24th in 42.29; new member Ken Padgett 38th in 44.06; Club Chairman Paul Chadwick 40th in 44.15; Colin Williams 60th in 46.16; Rebeca Carver 71st in 47.15; Andrew Pate 85th in 47.59; Louise Williams 148th in 51.44; new member Stuart Cursley 203rd in 56.44 Sharon Bowles 206th in 56.55; Hayley Carver 221st in 58.15. There were 296 finishers in the 10km race. Well done all!
