Kyle Craib & Charlotte Hewitt both won their under 20’s age category in the Notts AAA Summer League. It was an excellent performance by the young Worksop Harriers and both of them at the age of 16 have another 3 years before moving into the senior ranks. Indeed Kyle showed his huge potential by finishing 6th overall, regardless of age, and can surely go on to win the league in the future.
Charlotte’s father, John Hewitt, made it a double celebration for the family by winning the silver medal in the over 50’s category and John Proffitt narrowly missed out on the medals finishing 4th in the over 60’s age group.
The fifth and final race in the league was a little under 6miles and was held at Teversal Grange.
