​North East XC Championships results

There were individual and team medals won by the Birtley AC U15 girls. A fantastic well earned bronze for Olivia Murphy and a big bonus silver team medal for Olivia Murphy, Poppie Phillipson and Ceinwen Bishop. Well done girls!!! Mention for Izzy Hall, who despite having a good solid start, began to struggle, and was determined to finish, which she did. Other junior age group athletes were U17 boys Ollie King, U17 girls Niamh Phillipson, U20 women Daisy Graham, U20 men George Beevers (a very credible 5th). Well done to all the senior men and women athletes who raced (see list in photos), we had teams in both races. Mention to Katie Francis who finished a well earned 9th place. The North Easterns are one of the selection races for athletes to be selected to represent the North East at the British Inter Counties Championships the beginning of March, Olivia will have gained automatic selection due to her 3rd place, and there is still a great opportunity for other athletes to be selected if racing the Northern XC.
