Juniors Cross Country 2025

Saturday 28th February saw the last of the North West London Young Athletes XC League for the juniors in Perivale.

A great spectator course had been laid out in Peartree Park, plenty of twists and turns and flat as a pancake.

In the U’11’s (2km) Freddie Pytherchi Strobi (1st) had a blinder of a run. He stayed on the shoulder of the leader  pretty much the whole race, until the home straight when he kicked and stormed to a victory. Good races from Angus Baird (9th) along with Leon Sharpe (24th), Alexander Eaton-White (49th) and Chris Chew (53rd).

The boys U’13’s (3km) saw strong performances from Oscar Reed (35th) and Shayar Chatterjee (60th), and in the U’15’s a great solo effort from Arthur O’Shea (26th).

In the U’11 girls race, there were solid performances from Blaise Douglas (16th) and Rosalind Reed (22nd) out of a field of 43.

In the he U’13s, a good solo performance from Isobel Balch (38th) 

In the U’15,  a great race from Marie Alison (5th) & Marissa McCarron (24th).

In total we had five girls and eight boys representing the Harriers. 

Overall (out of the five XC races) QPH U’11s boys were placed 2nd team behind Highgate Harriers (good day for Chris B), with Freddie taking 2nd overall & Angus 5th. In the U’15s Boys Arthur O’Shea managed 14th.

In the U’15s Girls Marie Allison came 5th overall, Marissa McCarron 14th & in the U’17s Girls Eleanor Pond 9th. 

Congratulations to all our Juniors for a really successful cross country season!
