Wins for Heathsiders at Tooting 24hr, Haringey Schools X Country, and Winchester Half
There was a win for England Ultra distance international Michael Stocks by a handy 2km ahead of the second placed athlete and whole 26km in front of third, in the 24HR race at Tooting, an amazing effort made even more difficult by the heavy rain.
Jane Stephens posted ;
"..the weather was appalling making it rather horrible for everyone. I was lucky to be crewing with Rob (Shulman) and his wife Helen along with Michael’s coach and his wife. They were amazing and selfless through the long hours in the cold and wet when we thought the race would never end!”
1st Michael Stocks , 249.103 km ( 154.78 miles ),

There was a 1 -2 finish in the girls race, as Simon reports ;
“ The London Borough of Haringey held the first of two Cross Country trials for the London Youth Games on Tuesday 19th September at New River Stadium with a total of 396 runners competing. On a very dry and hard grass course a number of Young Heathsiders ran for their respective schools. In the Boys race Spike Blake was the first U13 home finishing 6th overall closely followed by Lucas Mayer in 8th (the 3rd U15 runner). The girls race was won outright by Mia Manttan closely followed by Mimi Blake in 2nd place. Hattie Munday finished 8th overall, 4th in the U13 category after moving up from the U11’s last year. Elkie Baker finished 22nd overall and was the 3rd U11.”

Veterans AC 10000m Championships, Battersea Park, 21/9/18
Pete Crockford was very happy with his time, and another club age group V60 record, especially given the wind and having to run 21 laps on his own. He reports
“Picked up a MV60 silver and another club age group record on a very windy evening, starting in sunshine and finishing under the lights. Complete with timing chips, which was a bit of a novelty for a track race! I think idea was they’d be able to give us splits for each of our 25 laps, which would be interesting- but not forthcoming as yet. “
18 Pete Crockford 39m 35.78 ( 2nd V60, )
