YOUNGSTERS STEP UP IN STYLE
Three youngsters who have moved up an age-group turned in superb displays in the opening fixture of the Grand Prix Express North Wales Cross-Country League at Bangor.
A week after winning the U17s' race at Winsford Wrexham's Christian Smith showed the same style in beating Eryri's John Spill.
In his first race with the seniors teenager Iolo Hughes (Menai) looked exactly what he is - a classy athlete of outstanding talent. The 17-year-old led throughout, claiming several quality "scalps" in a very impressive win.
The reigning ladies' champion Alison Lavender (Oswestry) had an equally comfortable win in her bid to retain her title, but Iolo's sister Cari, who dominated the U15 class last year, did brilliantly to come second.

Senior men: 1 I Hughes (Menai, U20) 29.35, 2 M Roberts (Eryri) 30.10, 3 O Haswell (Bangor Uni) 30.45, 4 P Jones (Osw, M40) 30.47, 5 D Kashi (Bangor Uni) 30.52, 6 D Longley (Prestat yn) 31.12, 7 J Hudak (Bangor Uni) 31.42, 8 J Ford (NWRR, M45) 31.47, 9 L Renton (Bangor Uni) 32.08, 10 S Haggar (Bangor Uni, U 20) 32.14.
