THAMES MOB MATCH
The new Mob Match Captain, Steve Rigby, was unfortunately unable to attend but he would have been proud of the SLH team that turned out to defeat Thames. Thames had 18 runners, SLH had 34 and it looked like a quality v quantity race. With 15 to score it was touch and go and the turning point was Stuart Major running for SLH and scoring 4. If Stuart had run for Thames, they would have won so well done Stuart for making the right decision. The club 7.5 mile championship was won by Pawel Bal, with Stuart 2nd and Kristian Lennard 3rd.
The Ladies medal winners were Ruth Hutton, Natalie Glover and Pam Iannella. Results are in Cross Country and photos in the Gallery.
OTHER RESULTS
Tom Holden continued his fantastically successful season on Saturday when he won the Intermediate Boys race at the Surrey Schools Cross Country Championships held in Reigate Priory Park. The win was all the more remarkable as Tom is in the youngest age group for this event. In the other races, Steph McCall came 5th in the Senior Girls, William Bardsley was 5th in the Junior Boys while Amy and Tessa Billups were 20th and 21st in the Intermediate Girls race. In the year 7 girls event, Amelia Stiff came 7th and Hanna-Mai Flynn 10th. There was further success for SLH youth with Creston Harrison winning a gold medal in the 200 metres at the South of England Under 20 indoor championships.

There was a fantastic turnout of young athletes, teachers and parents at the SLH Primary School Races at Oasis Academy on Saturday morning. Once again Anne Roden and her team of helpers organised 4 races, all of which produced some excellent competition and rivalry between the schools. It was amazing to see how many parents came to support and cheer on the children. Photos are in the Gallery. The results were as follows:
