Two talented students competed for honours at Conwy parkrun last Saturday with Bryn Woodall (Colwyn Bay AC) eventually outsprinting his rival Harri Jackson (Manchester Metro University AC) to claim the first place with an incredible time of just 15 minutes and 54 seconds.

Bryn, who is on leave from his studies in America, narrowly failed to match his record on this picturesque but challenging 5k course, but still finished over a minute clear to additionally win his SM20-24 age category. 

*American student Bryn Woodall (*above) was the first man back home at the Conwy parkrun last weekend.

Harri was 2nd in the same age cat as Bryn in 17.11, with veteran Bryn Carrington claiming the 3rd spot, and winning his MV40 cat in 17.33. There were 229 finishers.

For the ladies, Alison Campbell (Sheffield University Cross-Country and AC) was the first female finisher in 8th place overall in 18.36, and the winner of her SW30 cat, with Emily Hanlon the 2nd female runner in 13th place overall 20.08, and the top SW20 cat, whilst veteran Louise Letman took the 3rd spot, but won her VW50 cat on her debut in 35th place overall in 22.36.

North Wales Road Runners entered ten members and recorded a wide comparison of inter-club age cat wins with Kay Hatton winning her FV60 age cat in 23.11, whilst junior athlete Joe Culverhouse won his JM11-14 cat, finished just seven seconds adrift of Kay in 23.38.

Veteran John O’Shea finished 3rd in his MV65 cat in 132nd place overall in 29.02, and fellow vet Rob Fryer was147th in 30.08, with Helen Hannam 159th in 30.42, and Rachel Morris 184th in 33.40.
Meanwhile, Carla Green continued her return to fitness with another promising performance as the 6th female finisher and she was 2nd in her VW50 age cat in 23.11. Kay Hatton was 52nd in 23.31 and she claimed 1st place in her FV60 cat, with Joe Culverhouse 53rd, and 1st in his JM11-14 cat in 23.38.
