Welsh XC Champs

MEDALS GALORE FOR NORTH WALES IN SWANSEA

An appeal for more North Wales athletes to travel south for the annual Welsh  cross-country championships produced results not only in quantity but also in quality.

 No fewer than 12 competitors came away from Swansea with medals, once again highlighting the depth of young talent in the region at present.

 The turnout from seniors remained disappointing apart from an Eryri ladies' squad, but Rob Samuel  kept the flag flying with a brilliant run, finishing second to the in-form GB international Dewi Griffiths.

 Cari Hughes (Menai) and Mia Roberts (Deeside) completed a " double" by taking gold two weeks after winning the Welsh Schools' titles, the former once again getting the better of the highly-rated Heidi Davies (Brecon).
