Results
Under 9’s
1 lap Emma Parker (8^th, 20:1).

Under 11 girls
An excellent team performance, with all the girls finishing in the top 2 or 3 in every event they contested saw them finish =3^rd in their age category. They would have done even better but the absence of a 4^th team member meant they could not field a relay team.
Chloe Hallewell: 1 lap (2^nd, 14:5), Standing Triple jump (2^nd, 3.92m).
Miranda Parks: Foam Javelin (2^nd, 12.25m), 1 lap (15:4).
Lauren Ward 3 laps (2^nd, 45:7), Speed bounce (=3^rd43).

Under 11boys
Daniel Appleby once again excelled with the Javelin to help lead the team to third place in their age category. They too would have been better placed if they had a 4^th competitor enabling them to contest the relay race.

Jack Sanders: Speed Bounce (2^nd, 41), 1 lap (4^th, 14:6).

The club as a whole finished a satisfactory 3^rd overall despite not having any under 15 boys competing.

Harriers Coach, Michele Harrop said:
“We are making good progress, we have more & more young athletes competing for the club & they all did really well. It has been a hard year for them as the lack of facilities in Worksop has meant that through the summer the only time they have been able to do events such as long jump or high jump was in competitions. At least with sportshall competitions they can practice the events in training”

The junior’s next competitions are the Trader Fun Run (held in conjunction with the Worksop Half Marathon) this Sunday (26^th) followed by the next Mini League Cross Country meeting on 16^th November.

The Junior Harriers meet every Wednesday 5pm – 6:30pm at the North Notts Arena on Eastgate. For more details contact Richard/Michele Harrop on 01909 500320
