HRRL Overton 5
Very warm conditions at the Overton 5 for the start of the 23/24 HRRL season but no problem for our team of 11 women and 18 men as race wins for Andy Greenleaf and Lucy Elliot anchored team wins for both men and women and saw the defence of our league titles off to a good start.
I would like to say a massive thank you to all of you who ran the Overton 5 which was a fantastic start to the new HRRL 2023/24 season! Overall WADAC had 29 athletes who came out to run on this very hot Sunday afternoon. Lots of great results…. the men did brilliantly with Andy Greenleaf coming 1st (25.31), Freddy Slemeck 2nd (25.55), George Belfield 8th (27.26) and Nick Wood 21st (29.17) winning the men’s A team.
The WADAC women started as they left off last season with some great fantastic running all round. WADAC “A” Team came 1st overall, with the team comprising of Lucy Elliot coming in 1st Female overall (30.11), Sarah Gurney 5th (32.29), Kathy Bailey 9th (34:18) and Vanessa Monteleone (36.01).
There were also lots of fantastic individual 1st age category results, well done all
