February 22: Sophia Chapman and Olive Geary star for MMK in the National Cross Country

MMK had runners in all of the races, except the senior women’s race, at the National Cross Country Championships over a very muddy Parliament Hill Fields in North London.

The MMK stars of the day were Sophia Chapman, who finished seventh in the Under 17 Women’s race and led a large MMK contingent to fourth in the team race, and Olive Geary who finished fourteenth in Under 15 Girls’ race.

Other outstanding performances were by Katie Webb, 47th in the U17 Women’s race, despite a fall, ahead of Izzy Gregg (77th) and Katherine Sinnott (79th), Maddie Pearce, 34th in the F20 race, Josh Edwards 78th in the M20 race and Thomas Roberts, 85th in the M17 race.

In the senior men’s race, with almost 1800 finishers, there were great runs by Chad Lambert (144th), who slipped by Steve Tuttle (146th) in the home straight, Matt Dicks (410th) and Viv Parnell-Murphy (442nd).
