Catherine Gough competed well in this UK Championship. Catherine said:
I did the BUCS (British Universities & college sport) cross country championships on Saturday 6th February at Oxstalls Sports Park Gloucester. The race was 6.1k (2 laps) with almost 600 in my race (I came 173). It was a great experience. The course was very flat, but muddy and waterlogged in the rainy and windy conditions.
7 ladies and 3 men represented Sphinx at the Midland XC Championships, held at Loughborough.
The next cross-country fixtures take us back to the league on the 13th February, with the ladies travelling to Wolverhampton and the men to Gloucester. Please contact the respective captains if you want to take part.
