Internationl Duty

Three of Cumbria's finest were called up for International Duty at the end of the season. Abbie Hetherington, Laura Park and Tom Farrell.


After her 7th place finish at hot and sunny Stanford Hall, Abbie was selected to run for England's Junior Girls team for the Home Nations match at Bangor, Wales the following weekend. Abbie improved her overall position in the England team and finished 6th overall with a time of 13.59. This helped the England team to an emphatic win over Ireland, Scotland and Wales.


Tom Farrell and Laura Park were unable to run at the English Schools Cross Country Final because they were at UKA's holding camp preparing for the IAAF World Junior Cross Country Championships in Amman, Jordan.




Laura finished a highly credible 75th and was part of the most successful Great Britain team who were just narrowly beaten to 4th place by Japan.





Tom Farrell was the second European over the finish line and finished 58th overall. A fantastic result which augers well for the future. We look forward too seeing all three return to the track this summer.
