The Lanarkshire XC Championships took place on Saturday at Drumpellier Park in Coatbridge. The only races not to be altered due to flooding were the Under 11 Boys and Girls 1200 metres. However it was in the Under 13 Boys race that the club had success with debutant Craig Ferguson claiming third place in a time of 10 minutes and 48 seconds. Later on in the day Ewan Murray was also third in the Under 17 Boys race in a time of 17 minutes and 55 seconds. Craig was joined by Andrew McGurk (25th) in 13 minutes and 5 seconds then Michael McAllister in 16 minutes and 30 seconds.
The first race of the day was the Under 11 Girls with Emma Lawton finishing in 12 th place in a time of 3 minutes and 56 seconds. Caitlin Kean (35th) followed in 4 minutes and 49 seconds with Georgina Hernon (38th) only three seconds behind.
Next to the starting line was the Under 11 Boys who were led home by Kevin McGurk (13th) in a time of 3 minutes and 54 seconds. The ever improving Drew Gordon followed in 3 minutes and 59 seconds claiming 16th place overall. William Brady (20th) was next in 4 minutes and 26 seconds closely followed by Niall Bogan (4 minutes and 32 seconds) in 22nd place and Christopher Brady (23rd) in 4 minutes and 41 seconds.
Well done to all the clubs young athletes for taking part in this event and here's hoping even more (except Under 11's) will be at the West District Cross Country on Saturday 5th December at the Royal Academy in Irvine.
