Sphinx AC men gave it everything they had at the last race in this season’s Birmingham League XC fixtures but the task of rising out of the relegation zone was just too much. A very special “congratulations” goes to Ben Orme, who celebrated his 80th consecutive XC event. Sphinx, Northbrook and Masseys were all jostling for positions to avoid relegation, but sadly (and quite surprisingly, it has to be said), all three Coventry teams have been relagated to division three.
Four Sphinx AC women made the journey down to Cheltenham for the last of this season’s Birmingham League XC events. Official results haven’t been posted online yet, but have been circulated by email to the team captains.

Sphinx AC were represented in three ParkRun events this weekend, all a bit wet and windy! Coventry 27 Sphinx AC runners/family/friends ran this weekend, with 1 first-timer and 3 PBs. This was a great day for Sphinx juniors/children – Robyn McSharry was first female finisher, and they got all the PBs of the day! Participation in other ParkRun events, plus XCs in the afternoon meant that we had fewer runners than normal.
Dorota Brynkiewicz and Tracy Avill represented Sphinx AC in these 10k and 20k events at Moreton Morrell, with Dorota taking second lady – the second time she’s done so in a week. 10k official results are here: http://www.raceways.eu/site/images/Moreton_Morrell/MM_Mad_Dash_2014_10k_Result.pdf 21 1414 Dorota Brynkiewicz 00:44:23 20k official results are here: http://www.raceways.eu/site/images/Moreton_Morrell/MM_Mad_Dash_2014_20k_Result.pdf 24 1770 Tracy Avill 01:36:20
5 runners from Sphinx AC took part in this tough and hilly 14-ish mile cross country/fell race in Leicestershire. The course was extremely muddy as you might expect following the recent bad weather.

Nine Sphinx AC runners ran the fourth of this season’s races, with Ashley Miles winning the race outright. Rob Wheatly and Luke Makins also triumphed in the raffle! The conditions were pretty bad, with large puddles and sloppy mud on several stretches of the course. A submerged pothole caused Janine to twist her ankle, forcing her to withdraw from the race.
