Anniversary Wa English Junior Championship fell Race, Sat 21st April

George Elmes reports .... 4 JIH's made the trip across to the Lake District for the Anniversary Wa! which was race 2 of the English Junior Fell Championships. The race was held in the beautiful setting of the Newland valley in the shadow of Catbells. Again as in most championship races a very tough climb followed by a very fast decent off the turnround which made for a really exciting race.
Before the start rain was falling really heavily and the tops covered in clag. Fortunatly similar to the last championship Race at Pendle a few weeks ago the clouds parted just in time for the start of the U8 race and the sun came out to make perfect racing conditions. Again we had some very good results from those that travelled culminating in two podium finishes from Robyn Anderson and Emily Elmes finishing 2nd girl in the GU8 and GU10 respectively, well done to all. Overall results as follows -

Robyn Anderson produced her best performance so far in an Ilkley vest by crossing the line in 5th place and 2nd Girl.

In the U10's we again had 3 girls runner with Emily Elmes finishing 13th (2nd Girl), Molly Pearson 25th (8th girl) and Poppy Anderson 28th (10 girl).

Another great day out which was enjoyed by all who made the trip (especially the free Chilli after the race!)

Sheffield Festival of athletics, Don Valley Stadium, Sun 22nd April

Malcolm Pickering reports.... At the Sheffield festival of athletics at the Don Valley Stadium. James ran 15.28 for 100 m and 2:49 for 800m and Anna 3:41 for 800m.

Pendle English Junior Championship fell Race, Sat 7th April

George Elmes reports .... An impressive 10 JIH's travelled across the Pennines to compete in the first FRA Junior championship race of the year with two impressively coming away with podium finishes - Georgia Malir and Emily Elmes finishing 3rd in GU16 and GU10 respectively.
For a number it was there first experience of racing at championship level, encouragingly all acquitted themselves really well on what was a pretty tough and challenging course. The first climb for example making many of the Senior supporters blowing hard by the time they reached the top!!
The early mist had cleared leaving perfect fresh conditions for racing when George Morley and Robyn Anderson got the proceedings underway in the U8's. Both had good runs with George finishing in 17th and Robyn finishing 21st (6th girl)
In the under 10's we had a good presence with four running, Emily Elmes finishing 19th (3rd Girl), Ben Morley 29th, Molly Pearson 36th (8th girl) and Poppy Anderson 39th (10th girl)
Bethan Morley stepped up again to the longer distance in the U12's. After a difficult start where she got bumped and barged and as a result ended up in a poor start position she recovered well, ran strongly to claw back a number of places to finish in 60th (15th Girl)
In the U14's Tilly Melechi finished 33rd (12th girl) and Josie Clarke 50th (26th Girl).
Finally in the U16's Georgia Malir again ran well to finish 18th (3rd girl) to close a successful day for JIH.
It was really good to see so many JIH's out competing on the fells at this level. With Georgia leading the way we seem to have a number of JIH's that are coming through trying to emulate her success. 8 Girls and 2 boys racing today, it would be great to see a few more lads out racing at this level in the future. Its a great day out and fantastic experience for them (and the adults!)
Next FRA Junior championship race is the Anniversary Wa! on the Saturday 21st April at Newlands in the Lake district. It would be great to see a another great junior turnout of red and green vests in Cumbria.

National XC Champs, Parliament Hill, London, Sat 25th February

Pete Shields reports..... Elizabeth Westhead was the first Ilkley Harrier to run, she was in the under 13 girls race. It was a very big field and as with all the races very competetive she handled the occasion very well finishing in 289th position with a time of 15:14. We had two boys in the boys under 13 race, their race came late in the programe, so they had to deal with their nerves for quite a long time. Euan Brennan ran exceptionally well finishing in 226th position in a time of 13:06, Frances Westhead finished in 163rd position, looking very strong throughout in a time of 12:41. The Westhead and Brennan families were there in numbers to support their charges and it was fabulous to hear Ilkley's name being shouted out at a junior level, I just hope these athletes get a little something from the experience and it bring's them back to it next year. I would like to add that both Francis and Euan are only 11 and were probably two of the youngest runners in the race (Shirley).
