🏃‍♀️ CROSS COUNTRY SEASON IS UNDERWAY! 🍂

Following the end-of-season break and a recent return to training, some of the group kicked off their winter season at the first GWENT League fixture of 2026/27. There were some very encouraging performances, with the following athletes leading the way 👏

🔹 Seniors
🥉 Jess Hyland – 6th overall (3rd U24)
🔹 Rachel Duckworth – 12th overall (4th U24)
🔹 Ale Prince – 20th overall (7th U24)

🔹 U20s
🥉 Hatti Stead – 3rd

A great start to the winter campaign, with plenty to build on over the weeks and months ahead as we progress through the winter and look towards the summer 2027 competition season 💪
