Track relay event results 02/06/2014

A big well done to all the Striders who braved both the rain and the awful school PE team selection system to run the inaugural track relay event this evening at the Cumberland Athletics track in Crewe.

The winners! Perry, Lucy and Steve in the red team.

Your support at this event was very much appreciated!

It was great to see so many newer members at the event. Other highlights included having 3 father/son combinations which resulted in some serious competition at times. Elaine continued her role as club jinx managing once more to add to her collection of wooden kitchen utensils. The orange team had a combined age of only 61, younger than some individual Striders present, which managed to propel them into third place overall.

Here are the final results:
