Three North Wales Road Runners competed well in the Inter-regional cross-country championships at Dolerw Park, Newtown, last Saturday, and each recorded some excellent times, with one member even winning a prestigious team medal.

Cheryl Frost, Kay Hatton and Steve Gardner were selected to represent the North Wales regional team in the Senior Women and Senior Men’s Masters races, following some promising results in recent NW Cross-country league meetings.

And at the weekend Cheryl formed part of a successful five-women squad that packed well and clinched the 3rd team spot in the Senior Women and Master Women’s race, finishing 105th overall, and she was the 5th team counter, winning a bronze medal, and celebrating 13th place in her MW55 age cat in 29.32.

Kay Hatton also had an impressive run, and she was 121st overall, and 20th in her MW55-64 age cat in 31.07, narrowly missing out on a team placing.

Steve Gardner enjoyed a positive run in 88th place overall in the Senior Men and Master Men’s race in 36.40, and he was 3rd in his MM55 age cat. After the event, he said: “I was very happy with my performance and felt very strong.”

Cheryl Frost later confirmed: “I won a bronze medal in the cross-country championships at Newtown as the 5th counter. Kay also ran a great time but unfortunately, she didn’t quite get into the medals.” 

Cheryl’s team medal winning colleagues included: Emma Collins (Denbigh), 5th in 28.06; Ceri Cook (Buckley RC), 8th in 29.00; Debbie Cattermole (Meirionnydd RC), 10th in 29.01; Joy Hickman (West Cheshire), 12th in 29.01, and Cheryl Frost (NWRRC), 13th in 29.32.
