CROSS COUNTRY: Charlotte’s county coup
CHARLOTTE Taylor was in a class of her own at the Lincolnshire Schools’ Cross Country Championships.
The Spalding High School ace, who was among a clutch of South Holland runners to feature at the Coronation Channel course (South Lincs zone), took the senior girls title at a canter.
Successful South Lincolnshire squads also won two team titles and finished as runner-up in two other age groups.
Behind terrific Taylor in the senior girls event was University Academy Holbeach student Grace Mullins in second, giving South Lincs a fantastic start in the team competition.
Natasha Segal (Spalding High) was the fourth and final team counter in 12th position to secure the team championship.
The under-13 Girls representing South Lincs also combined to take the team title. In this event for year seven pupils, Rosie Fresen (Spalding High) crossed the line in tenth place.
Meanwhile, the under-19 boys were unable to emulate their female counterparts – but still managed to fill second position on the team results table.
Two Sir John Gleed sixth formers – Lloyd Kempson (7th) and David De-Sa (13th) – finished well to secure a strong overall placing for the team.
South Lincs’ under-15 boys had competitors in the first two positions. But, although they packed quite well behind their leading runners, they missed out on the team championship title by the narrowest of margins, finishing one point behind champions Lincoln and Gainsborough.
At under-17 girls level, Holly Wise (University Academy Holbeach) ran well to finish in eighth place and earn selection for the Lincolnshire team for the Anglian Counties Cross Country Championships at Ipswich this weekend.
