NYSD Cross Country - Whitby 9th January 2005

There were 22 runners from Richmond and Zetland Harriers amongst the 256 who braved the cold, wet and windy conditions on Sunday 9th at Whitby in the fourth NYSD X-C fixture. This week’s detailed results showed not only these numbers, but cumulative individual and team points and positions too, and this included Mark and Rob Scott joining Rory Wadsworth to score the first points for the Club’s Under 13 Boys.

Additionally, with two fixtures remaining, both the Men’s and Women’s teams are in second place and three runners, Jessie Roberts (U17W), Nick Zissler (U20M) and Mike Brooks (M50), lead their individual categories.
