Tickner wins for the Harriers

Wessex XC meeting at Edgarley, October 9th

[Results below]

British International Ben Ticker again ran away from the rest of the field at the first Wessex Cross Country League fixture on Sunday. Almost 50 Harrier’s competed, with another 10 members marshalling or administering the fixture on behalf of the 20’odd clubs from across the region that compete in the League. The courses around Millfield Prep school were set by Club Deputy Chairman Clive Thomas and gave all of the various age groups a challenging start to the 6 match season. Many thanks to Millfield Prep School for the use of the facilities and all those Harriers that helped administer and marshal.

First off on the afternoon was the U’11 Fun Run with a course slightly longer than 1km. Street’s Ashleigh Chinnock once again had a good race for the Harriers finishing in 17th place overall and well up the field amongst the girls. Next was the U’13 Girls race where the squad of Sarah Martin, Chloe Leysham, Lucy Etherington and Robyn Sharp packed well in the middle of the large field. Particularly pleasing was the debut performances over the country of Sarah and Chloe. Then in the U’13 Boys race the 6 Harriers included a number making their debut in the League, with Lewis Lynham’s 16th place and Cameron Rafferty’s 24th place being the pick of the newcomers. Tom Thick used all his experience to lead home the team with his 8th place, whilst Callum Batten was 14th, Lewis Curtis was 21st and Isaac Curtis was 30th.

In the U’15 Girl’s race, North Brewham’s Justine Bowers continues to race well, and this time finished a very close 2nd despite being in the younger age group for this race. Not too far behind was Leighanna Chappell, 8th, and her cousin Natalie Parker, in 20th, to close for the team. In the U’15 Boy’s race, the Harriers fielded its strongest ever squad at this age group with 5 runners home in the first 10. Charlie MacLean continues to improve and finished in 4th place, with Alex Wiltshire just behind him in 5th. Then in 7th, 8th and 9th places were the trio of Douglas Whittaker, Chris Wady, and Ben Venus with each trying their best to be across the line first. With Sam Heselden in 14th and debutant Ben Casey in 23rd the strength in depth was good to see. Ben’s usual track race is the 3km race walk so his effort over the country is particularly good.

The U’17 Women’s race featured excellent racing by Rosy Cooper and Laura Parker for the Harriers with Rosy finishing just behind the winner, in 2nd place, and Laura, not too far behind for 3rd place. This was despite Rosy and the leader going slightly astray on the 2nd, larger, lap. In the corresponding U’17 men’s event Ollie Parson ran a good race to finish 15th and was pleased with his hard effort.

The penultimate race was the senior women’s race and the Club’s Female athlete of the Year Vicky Tester ran an excellent race to finish 2nd but was disappointed not to have got the better of her rival. Tina Backwell made an outstanding debut to finish 10th, having paced herself well around the course, and was backed up by Tracey Halliday,14th, for the ‘A’ team. Claire Thomas, Marion Colman and Angela Thomas also ran well for 30th, 33rd, and 38th positions to finish a ‘B’ team.

The final race saw 17 senior male Harriers line up, and it was a clean sweep at the sharp end with a classy performance for 1st by one of the Club’s British internationals Ben Tickner, followed by top Veteran Jon James in 2nd, and Peter Grist in 3rd. Peter still had some tiredness in his legs following his victory at the previous weekend’s Burnham Half marathon. Rob Parfitt and Dickie Wythe completed the top ten finishers for the Harriers in 9th and 10th. Other finishers: 11th Steve Masters; 21st Rich Heselden; 27th Jon Sharp; 28th Andrew Deamer; 35th James Mellanby; 41st Stuart Marsh; 49th Dave Stanfield’ 52nd Paul Chadwick; 54th Paul Knight; 64th Peter Wright; 66th Dave Barlow; 74th Colin Money. Overall team positions for all of the races will be confirmed next week. The next Wessex XC League fixture is at Salisbury on November 13th.
