Pre-race:
Under
15 girls (year 8 & 9) 3km – UK Cross Challenge leader Blue Haywood
(Lincoln Wellington) will renew battle with Charlotte Purdue (Aldershot,
Farnham and District), who has already won Challenge races in London and
Liverpool this winter; Sarah Hopkinson (Gloucester), who is another fine
prospect in the same training group as Emily Pidgeon; and Tamara Armoush
(Amber Valley), who was second in the Under 13 Girls’ race her 12 months
ago and has run so consistently well this winter that she currently holds
third place in the UK Cross Challenge standings.

Union GB Junior Team for Lisbon
UK Athletics
today named eight athletes in a Norwich Union Great Britain and
Northern Ireland Team for the annual junior international cross
country match against Portugal and Spain in Lisbon on 14 January
2007.
Purdue
finished third in the Junior Women’s Trial at Liverpool but was
too young to be considered for the European Cross Country
Championships.
Purdue
has shown good form already this winter. She won the Junior
Women’s race at the IAAF Permit meeting in Brussels last Sunday
and will not be too young to be considered for the IAAF World Cross
Country Championships being staged in Mombasa, Kenya, on 24 March
2007. |
Charlie
won the Hampshire XC Championships in Basingstoke and Hampshire Schools
Championships at Carisbrooke on the Isle of Wight. She then went on to win
the Southern Under-17 Women's Cross-country title at Holkham Hall in
Norfolk, leading home a Hampshire 1-2-3-4 of Purdue, teammate Laura
Alexander-High, Southampton's Becci
Gough and Winchester's Lorna Russell.

- "Finally the Junior women’s race saw a victory for plucky
Charlotte Purdue (Aldershot Farnham & District) who ran the
second half of her race without her right spike after it was clipped
off her heel running through the wooded part of the course. Losing
ground whilst attempting to slip it back on, Purdue opted to ditch
the shoe and set about regaining lost ground.
It was the right
decision as she later ran away from the field to win in 15.13 ahead
of Joanne Harvey (Exeter) 15.25 and Laura Park (Ellenborough) 15.29.
Stockport’s Jess Coulson – one of the pre-race favourites –
finished in 39th after suffering a fall mid race whilst leading the
field alongside Purdue." |
