RESULTS OF 2nd SUMMER 5K LEAGUE FIXTURE AT BEN’s YARD
The results recently came through for the second fixture of the Summer 5k League at Ben’s Yard, near Ely, which took place on May 8th. Great news that, among the 8 clubs taking part in the league, Newmarket Joggers’ women’s team have held onto their 3rd place position, with Cambridge & Coleridge AC in 1st, and Ely Runners in 2nd, after two fixtures. This was due to a good female turnout and an excellent performance by our 5 fastest female runners, including first overall female finisher Kirsty McDermott in a time of 18:57. The NJ men’s team came 6th of 8 on the day at Ben’s Yard and have slipped slightly from 5th to =5th position after two fixtures. Jimmy Smith was first male Jogger to finish in 18:01, 16th male overall; nice to see him running in top form.
NJ Female Top Five: Kirsty McDermott 18:57, 1st F of 150; Sarah Osborne 20:10, 5th F; Cerys Bithell 20:51, 10th F; Olivia Carter 23:17, 32nd F; Hanneli Stevenson 24:03, 44th F.
