CLEEVE RELAYS, AVON COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Somerset, August 28
Westbury took three of the women’s races, including the open three stage event but it was Chelsea Baker’s opener for Bristol & West that was easily the quickest overall, Martin Duff reports.
Fourth in the Inter-Services cross-country championships back in February, the Royal Navy runner, who has affiliations in Buckinghamshire and Gloucestershire as well as here in Avon, clocked 17:38 but her club was unable to hold on as Westbury came through to win.
This was thanks to their two junior runners as Rhiannon Paton on the anchor leg was second best with 18:18.
North Somerset comfortably took the men’s four stage race after junior Ben Hamblin gave them a good start with what proved to be the third best effort of 15:45.
They then had Matt Howard on the penultimate leg clock 15:40 but both were upstaged by third placed Cleevedon’s Sam Taberner with 15:30 on that same stage.
