This is a tough event and Lewes AC had two runners representing Sussex at the event. Finishing in 66th position in the race Maddy was the fourth Sussex finisher to help the Sussex team of six to finish in a very creditable fifth position overall.

Sam Rogers was the leading Lewes AC runner finishing in the bronze medal position in the year 8 race. Jasper Baker finished in 6th position in the year 7 race which meant both he and Sam qualifying to run in the South East Counties Inter-County race to be held at Bexhill this coming weekend.
