Met League Race One: Claybury

A really strong performance at the first fixture of the season on Saturday 10th October already puts both the Men’s and Women’s A teams in contention for Promotion to Division 2, and the B teams for promotion to Division 3.  Getting more athletes on the starting line shows that we are competitive at this level, so thank you to everyone who ran, cheered and organised on the day.

The Women’s team was brought home by Jenny (who is having a standout 2026), with really good races for Met League first timers Charlotte C and Victoria.  Also, thanks to Steph H for being a very vocal advocate for the Met League this season, it makes a difference!  A total of 8 women raced this fixture.  The Women’s A team sit 3rd in Division 2 and the B team 3rd in Division 3.

On the Men’s side Oliver and Noah both finished well inside the Top 100, with Oliver just pipping it at the finish line.  Noah has been a standout athlete for the Senior Men over the past couple of years even though he has been an U20.  Oliver is also an U20 athlete, so massive congratulations to him, and along with Joshua and Harry coming from John’s U20 team the future looks bright.  First timers in the Met League; Oliver, George M (who had an outstanding run), Josh, Harry and George C. Also, thanks to Chun who similarly was a big promoter of the Met League and his efforts were clearly rewarded here.  A total of 16 men raced this fixture. The Men’s A team sit 4th in Division 2 and the B team 3rd in Division 3.
