Wells City Harriers have once again been competing hard at the regional cross country races this past weekend. U11 Ruby Shaw (photo above) from our Monday training group repeated her previous victory when she won her race at the Wessex XC League making it two wins out of two. In the older age groups u15 Daisy Abernethy & senior woman Daisy Davies (both from our Yeovil partners) also won their respective races which were held at Bryanston School, Sherborne. Conditions underfoot were very tough due to the heavy rain on the Saturday.
This web report also looks forward to the next round of cross-country fixtures coming up, has a round up on the Somerset Race Series as we approach the final race, introduces our new website article feature 'Meet the Harriers', and calls for volunteers for the Street 5k Race Series. & Anyone for coaching?
