Junior members of Wells City Harriers excelled at the Annual Somerset County Schools Championships this past Saturday, June 8th, which were held at the Bill Whistlecroft, Yeovil, Arena. The event took place with strong winds and heavy showers making for difficult conditions. Despite this, a number of the young Harrier athletes achieved excellent performances including many medals, and personal bests, and some will now go on to represent the County at the South West School Championships on Saturday 15th in Exeter. Meanwhile a number of senior Harriers have been in action at the Piddlewood Plod on the Blackdowns, or in Craig Foley’s case completing a double marathon distance on the Cotswolds. Read on also for news of some other races coming up this month.

This past week or so has seen the Harriers with athletes competing hard at many disciplines and over different terrain when racing. 18 year old Ollie Thorner, now an Honorary Life Member of the Club, excelled himself when claiming the UK u20 bronze medal at the Bedford multi-events competition – some great performances across his 10 events. Meanwhile, Karen Shears seems to have enjoyed the Geat Wall of China, and closer to home there was some good running by Harriers at the Crewkerne 10k road race.
