Oliver Fox competed for the Team GB u20s team at the Edinburgh International Cross Country race on Saturday (January 10th)and finished 14th over the 6km course which looped around Holyrood Park including a short hill climb close to Arthur's seat. Oliver was 3rd Brit home, out of 6, in a race dominated by Team USA with Team Europe also producing some good performances. There were also some terrific performances by over 40 Harriers at the South West Cross Country Championships held at Bicton College, Devon last Sunday (January 4^th). Whilst one or two athletes and supporters were absent due to colds; or the competing demand of the Van Gall circus at Huish Park; the quality and endeavour of those who made the start line shouldn’t be under estimated.
