West yorkshire cross country

We had two U&R staff racing at the 2nd west Yorkshire cross country league this weekend at Knavesmire racecourse. First in action was Laura kirk (headingley & Skyrac AC) continuing her come back from injury in fine style by winning the senior ladies race. Laura used her track speed on the flat course to close down two of the leading girls who over the first half of the race made laura's workload look cutout, but laura paced her race well and won by 27 seconds in the end improving on her 4th place from last time. In the senior men's race Richard smith (hudds & Holmfirth Harriers) finished 10th after a hard fought race he fell off the back of top pack and lost his 9th place on the last lap but a big improvement on last time and a lot of confidence gained the race was won by Simon deakin (leeds ac) great effort by both athletes well done!!!
