South West Schools Cross Country, Tauntone, 02/02/2002
Three of our members made it through to the SW round, held at Taunton racecourse on an absolutely horrible day. Mark Davies had the best run, coming 20th in the Inter Boys, and together with Kirsty Hamilton (39th Junior Girls) and John Spry (49th Junior Boys), should all have qualified for their first English Schools championships.

Westward League Cross Country, Paignton, 16/02/2002
A good day for the seniors - Mike Feighan had a comfortable win in the mens, while we had 1-2-3 in the ladies, but as Lucy has already run for Exeter in the league this winter, she cannot count for our team score yet.

View From English National Cross Country Championships, Bristol, 23/02/2002
The "National" came as far South West as it has ever been, making it easier for our athletes to participate. Massive fields were, of course, the order of the day, with Kevin's performance probably standing out as the best, with Mark Davies fine run second.
