Poole & East Dorset Cross Country League 2003

This was the biggest and best league so far if numbers are anything to go by! There was one new venue (Canford Arena) and three which have been used successfully before (Upton House, Canford School and Ferndown Upper).

A total of 692 pupils competed in at least one race and 331 completed at least three races. There was an excellent turnout in most age groups except for the   Senior Girls.

In several of the categories the winner was often well clear of the nearest challenger, but this was not the case in the Junior Girls category where Broadstone's Becky Neal beat her rival Harriet Hughes on the basis of the fourth race, which only counts in the event of a tie (positions are based on the best three out of the four races). In the Year 6 & 7 Girls category, the overall winner was a guest runner from Blandford, but the league title goes to Rebecca Cutts of the Yarrell's School in Upton. We welcome guest runners from outside the area, but this is on the understanding that they cannot take individual or team titles.
