Culford School

16 Culford pupils (from Prep and Senior schools) qualified to take part in the final round of the Suffolk Schools cross-country trials, held at the Royal Hospital School near Ipswich on Thursday 19^th January 2012.

This was a great achievement, having had to prove themselves over two previous rounds in order to compete this time.

Wet and muddy conditions underfoot, along with the cold wind, made for a  challenging environment in which to run.

Results were as follows :

Minor Boys
10^th – Jess Walters
22^nd – Finn Taylor
41^st – Tommy Freeman (but struggling with an ankle injury)

Minor Girls
1^st – Nella Walters (to complete a clean sweep of winning each of her races)
7^th – Olivia Allum  (excellent run from her)
19^th – Jevony Hall (improvement of over 20 places from her previous run)
41^st – Kate Shillitoe
Claudia Spencer-Hall was taken ill on the course, and so did not finish on this occasion. However, she has finished in 2^nd and 5^th  places on previous performances.

28^th – Rhianna Walton

Inter Boys
27^th – Kieran Dibley
