LINDSAYS SCOTTISH SHORT-COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS, Lanark, November 4

Jamie Crowe won his first-ever Scottish short-course title as he led Central AC to team victory in a men’s race that produced over 500 finishers.

The 2022 Scottish national champion’s strong finish as he made the final turn into the finishing straight gave him the edge over Scott Stirling, who showed his great improvement in the last 12 months as he improved on his ninth and tenth places from the past two events. Stirling had run the fastest leg in the previous week’s Scottish Relays.

Freddie Carcas, who improved his 5000m PB to 13:55.77 this summer while at college in the USA, beat Duncan Robinson to third place. Harry Henriksen was the first under-20 in eighth pace overall while Darrell Hastie was the leading master.

Eloise Walker, who this summer has improved her PBs to 4:09.09 and  8:48.15 at 1500m and 3000m respectively, won her first Scottish title since taking the junior 7.5km honours in 2019 and she led her Edinburgh AC team to victory, followed home by team-mate and namesake Kirsty Walker. Fionnuala Ross took bronze.

Like Crowe, Eloise Walker was using this race as preparation for the European trials at Liverpool later this month and she said: “I will go to Liverpool and try and contest under-23 selection. It was good to be back racing cross country here and to win – I was here two years ago when the conditions were appalling. This year it was very firm underfoot and we even had sunshine.”

There were a record 281 finishers in the women’s race and the first master Sara Green finished 12th, one place ahead of first under-20 Anya Maclean, who had the same time as fellow junior Isla Patterson.

A number of Scotland’s leading veterans took part as a warm-up for next week’s masters international at Glasgow.

The under-17 men’s race saw Andrew McWilliam, who was only 14th in 2022, win from Oliver Patton and James Connor, with the latter leading Giffnock North to team victory.

Commonwealth Youth Games 1500m sixth-placer Millie McClelland Brooks, recently crowned the Scottish under-17 women’s athlete of the year, defended her title over 3km with a 15-second victory.

Calum Dick used the considerable pace that took him to top of the UK mile rankings this year to retain the under-15 boys race by a second while Lois Macrae held on to her U15 girls title in a year that has seen her win the Schools International cross-country and the England and Scottish 1500m titles.

NORMAN WOODCOCK RELAYS, Gosforth November 5

This event began as a 10km back in 1974 before morphing into a three-lap 5-mile road race inside Gosforth racecourse and then becoming a mixed 3 x 1.66-mile relay in 2017. This year it was won by Sunderland Harriers, Martin Duff reports.

However, it was Birtley’s Adrian Bailes who ‘won’ the first stage with a 7:38 clocking that stood up as the best of the day and his team stayed ahead on stage two after Amber Leigh’s 9:37. Success was not to be theirs, however, as they slipped back on the third and final leg as Joe Armstrong came through to take victory for Sunderland with a second fastest 7:42 return.

The quickest women’s returns came from the over-40s, but times were close as Stephanie MacLean-Dann headed Lucie Custance by a second with a 9:34 clocking for North Shields Poly’s masters outfit.

Overall (3×1.66M, inc at least one woman): 1 Sunderland 25:24 (L Taylor 7:55, G Carroll, W 9:47, J Armstrong 7:42); 2 Gosforth 26:33 (R Slater 7:56, H Wightman U17 W 9:56, E Bond 8:41); 3 Tyne Bridge 26:42 (J Dorman 8:04, R Turnbull, W 10:28, M Hedley 8;10); 4 Gosforth B 26:47; 5 Birtley 27:00; 6 Heaton 27:06

ESSEX LEAGUE, Writtle, November 4

The league staged its third race in four weeks and it was  James Connor who came out on top for the third race in a row, Martin Duff reports.

Disappointed at not being selected for the England Masters team in the upcoming British and Irish Masters International, the Havering 40-year-old opted to make a point in the league.

He said: “My main aim was to be selected for the M40 England team at the home countries international race this coming weekend. However, I did not run the selection race in Derby and the selection panel made a mistake at the selection meeting.

“I had submitted the required information, with my 10km at Southend of 31:31 presented in the meeting. It is a shame, as that was my main target and I think I could have raced to win the international race.

“It has given me extra motivation to go and win the past three races and to show the selection team that I am one of the best M40s in the country. I am still hopeful that I may get added late on.”

Talking about the Writtle course, Connor added: “I wanted to make it three in a row but, due to the less challenging course, thought it would favour the younger runners more, so I started a bit slower, then hit the front once we had negotiated the first three bends.

“Once I was out in front, I managed to separate myself from the chasing group within the first 2km then, using my experience and current fitness, I knew that I would be strong on the second lap, when it would get worse underfoot. However, I was always respectful that Ben Davis and the Braintree junior runner could chase me down at the end if they were close.”

Havering clubmate Davis was second, with junior Oscar Graham-Pereira a couple of ticks back in third.

Lizzie Wellstead, the South of England U20 champion, also notched up her third league win in a row and again with a massive margin as Lauren Reed finished a very distant second.

The younger age group races were hit by the clash with the English National relays at Berry Hill Park Mansfield, where previous double winner Olivia Forrest was quickest under-15.

PRIORY XC RELAYS, Reigate, Surrey, November 4

After a slow start, it was Walton who moved right up on the second stage through veteran Duncan Woolmer to ensure victory and with it the fastest lap of 12:45, Martin Duff reports.

It had been Thomas Seiler who had led the first lap dash for Lingfield, with 13:22, but his club soon fell back when Woolmer’s Walton and Nick Lightfoot’s Guildford & Godalming moved ahead.

It was not until the final lap that Walton secured the win thanks to Jani Kraner’s 13:15.

The women raced over three laps and Stragglers led throughout after Elisa Hawthorn’s 13;33 that stayed as the best women’s lap.

Walks Races

Jack Fitzgerald Centenary Vets AC 6M Memorial Walk, Tilgate Park, Crawley, November 4

Veterans AC were pleased to host the eighth running of this event on a lakeside course once used as the test bed for Britain’s water speed record around popular beauty spot Campbell’s lake, which would have been Veterans AC stalwart Jack Fitzgerald’s centenary year.

The rain which endured until the event had just finished could only be described as heavy and persistent and required a course change to avoid deep puddles.

In the headline race over 9.52km Trevor Jones from Steyning AC won the men’s event but was led by women’s winner Melanie Peddle from Loughton AC.

The race was held to raise funds for Blind Veterans UK, as a tribute to RAF fighter pilot Fitzgerald.
