Another good performance from the three young Harriers, Nathan Sabin 7th, Tom Sabin 3rd and Ellie Baxter 4th in the final race of the series, held at Hanley park on 18 August.
Again the 3 harriers raced in the third sub-4 city parks grand prix at Fenton Park on July 14, another competitive race dominated by city of stoke.
Nathan finishing 10th in the under 15s, Tom finishing 3rd in the under 11s and Ellie finishing 4th in the under 11s (subject to results being correct, I have noticed some inconsistencies with published race results for age groups and runners numbers).
Last race being held at Hanley Park mid August, when overall standings will be fought for with the possibility of the youngsters coming home with medals.
Brilliant running to all three – Keep it Up !!!!!
And the young Harriers did themselves proud in the 2nd of the 4 races at Tunstall Park on 9th June,
Tom Sabin maintaining 2nd place in the under 11, Ellie Baxter maintaining 6th place in the under 11 and Nathan up against stiff competition from the city of stoke lads came 11th in the under 15’s. Excellent performance from all three runners. Well done.
Three juniors, Ellie Baxter, Nathan Sabin and Tom Sabin, represented the Harriers in the first of the series at Longton Park on the 12th May.
All under 15s started together in the 2km race around the park and all ran very good races and times.
Ellie was 6th in the FU11, Nathan 9th in the MU15 and Tom 2nd in the MU11 category.
With three more races left they all look set for a good series.

It was a bit of a free for all scramble over about 200 mtrs, bodies falling all over.

It was a bit too short for them all, but good to see them proudly wearing their Harrier vests.
Thanks to Craig Baxter for this photo and report.

Inter Counties Cross Country
On Saturday 7th March the Inter Counties Cross Country Championships took place at Mansfield. This event is for all the top athletes in every county to run against each other. It is televised live on Sky TV. So it was great to see that our own Nathan Sabin won his first County Vest and represented Staffordshire in the boys under 13 race. For someone who only started running at the beginning of the last cross country season Nathan has done extremely well. We are sure that all the experience he has gained this season will stand him in good stead for next season.
Well done Nathan.
Staffordshire Schools Cross Country
In the recent Staffs School Cross Country Championships both Sophie Cartmail and Nathan Sabin had very good runs. Sophie finished an excellent 15th in her race and Nathan kept up his recent good form coming home in 24th spot. Well done to both.
.
Nathan Sabin (above) ran a superb race at the Staffordshire Cross-Country Championships at Sandwell on Saturday 10 January!
He finished 7th in the Under 13 boys race which will hopefully take him through to run for the county in March.
And then on January 24th he had a very good run in the under 13s boys race at the Midland Counties Cross Country Championships and finished 40th , from 116 finishers, in a time of 11-57 over a 3k course.
