East District Cross Country Championships (incorporating East District League) Livingston 15/01/2011

Posted on January 16, 2011 by kirksm

The East District Cross Country Championships took place at Livingston on Saturday. This incorporated the final East District League Match. This season the East District League matches have been well supported by Lasswade athletes although there are a few gaps in some of the age groups where we had no runners or incomplete teams. There were twenty two Lasswade runners taking part in yesterdays event.

Most of the snow had thawed although there were some patches of  ice on the course. It was raining for most of the day which helped to make the course even muddier !!   

The highest placing Lasswade athlete was Ross Matheson who finished an impressive 4th overall in the mens race (second u20). Ross and Andrew Crichton were together for most of the three lap race with Andrew Crichton only managing to get away on the final lap, finishing eight seconds ahead of Ross.    

Congratulations to the mens team (all age groups) who finished a creditable 4th in the League.  Well done to the girls too who finished 18th team overall.
