LWAC - Lincs League XC4 - Louth

The Lincolnshire League cross country season drew to a close with the final match taking place at Louth AC's London Road venue. With a heavy forthcoming few weeks some of the younger Wellington athletes gave this one a miss but those that did turn out produced some excellent results. Chelsea Coyle is the latest in a developing line of outstanding young prospects in the Wellington ranks and she was most impressive in the under 11's race when beating not only the other girls but also the boys in emphatic style. Mary -Ann Philips was 3rd with Hester Talbot 5th. Jon Humberstone was the only Wellington athlete in the under 11 boy's race and he also notched a good win in a fairly tight finish. Blue Haywood continues to impress and she won the under 13 girl's event by almost half a minute. Charlotte Hanson was comfortably clear in 2nd place with Lara Thomas 4th and Rebecca Jackson 5th. Charlotte Gray in 11th place, Helen Penistan 15th and Alex Caskie 16th completed a very strong Wellington squad. The easiest winner of the day was 17 year old Lucinda Pitcher in the junior/senior/veteran women's race. She had the race under control from a long way out and was a massive one minute 20 seconds clear at the line. She should be a big asset to the club in the coming track season. Margaret Thompson finished a good 3rd with Kathy Warhurst a little further back in 4th. Mia Haywood was 17th, Jane Ramsden 22nd and Pat Kimpton 24th.

In the under 15 girl's race Rachel Humberstone picked up 3rd spot with Kelly Gilbert 6th and Sarah Kimpton 7th. Josina Clarke crossed the line 10th followed by Katy Campion 12th. There was also a 3rd placing for Dexter Haywood in the under 15 boy's race. And in the under 13's contest Elliot Haywood was also 3rd with Jake Coyle 4th and Jack Ramsden 6th. New member Graham Wright fared best of the Wellington senior men with a useful run for 13th place. Richard Diamond finished 21st With Steve Campion 34th and Russ Haywood 36th. Brian Fox came next in 44th place and the enthusiastic veteran Jim Diamond had a few behind him when crossing the line 52nd.
