Welsh CC Champs

NORTH WALES YOUNGSTERS STRIKE GOLD AT GLANUSK


Brother and sister Iolo and Cari Hughes both followed up their wins in the North Wales Cross-Country Championships in Corwen last week by claiming national titles.

 The Menai pair were among several North Wales youngsters who had excellent runs in the Welsh Championships in Glanusk, while the region's seniors were few and far between.

 From the North Wales point of view one of the most interesting races was that featuring the U17 and U20 ladies who ran together.

 The overall winner was Colwyn Bay's Georgia Garner (U17). At Corwen she beat all the senior ladies and this time she finished ahead of all the under-20s. Second in the race and first U20 was Sarah Livett (Menai), who  claimed a rare victory over Brecon twins Ffion and Rhianwedd Price.

Dewi Griffiths (Swansea) retained his senior men's title, finishing just two seconds ahead of twice-champion Ian Mitchell (Tipton) who originally hails from Flintshire.
