RESULTS OF FIRST SUMMER 5K LEAGUE FIXTURE AT HISTON & IMPINGTON
The results were recently released for the first of the Arkwright & Co/Turners Summer 5K League fixtures, which took place on Thursday evening, 24th April. Of the 8 competing local running clubs, the NJ women’s team stands in 3rd place, while the men’s team is in 5th position. 52 Joggers competed for the club, with 23 women and 29 men. The first 5 high-scoring finishers for NJ women were: Cerys Bithell 18:53PB, 2nd F of 179; Sarah Osborne 19:40, 5th F; Helen Hilario 22:08, 25th F; Carol Cienna Carter 22:11, 27th F; Rebecca Oettle 22:46 36th F. For the men, it was: Joey Bendall 16:28, 8th M of 301; Hugh Tawell 16:36, 12th M; Sam Sadler 17:44, 30th M; Jonathan Pye 18:02, 37th M; Jason Bevan 18:39, 59th M. The top 5 positions, by gender, were added together for each competing club (e.g. for NJ women = 2+5+25+27+36 = 95)…obviously the lower the score the better; then the total number of runners (including the top 5) from each club was deducted from this figure to reduce it by a point per person (95 – 23 = 72). That way, everyone who ran for their club was helping their team’s score. We hope to improve in the second fixture at Ben’s Yard, Ely on Thursday evening, May 8th.
