Inter District Selection

The East District Cross Country Championships took place at Livingston on 12 December 2015.

This was the principal race for selection of the East District Team for the Inter District Race that takes place at Holyrood Park, Edinburgh on 9 January 2016. This is held prior to the Great Edinburgh Cross Country races in which Mo Farah is down to run so it’s great for the kids to feel part of this event.

Selected athletes:

U13 Boys – Harry Henriksen

U13 Girls – Hannah Little

U15 Boys – Magnus Tait and Euan Hood

U15 Girls – Sarah Tait

U17 Men – Matthew Smith
