NEMAA Masters Open XC Champs

 

Congratulations to our small but tenacious team of Wallsend veterans (what? Surely they can’t be veterans I hear you cry. I know, it’s hard to believe looking at this lovely bunch of fresh-faced, athletes) who traveled to Darlington for the NEMAA XC championship earlier this month:

Elaine Ashton was 12th lady & 5th V35 in a time of 26:52

Andrew Wigmore was 40th & 11th V35 in a time of 38:57
Keith O’Donnell was 44th & 7th V40 in a time of 39:44

A great and committed effort by you all. Well done from all of us.
