BRR JUNIORS - News & Results 2011
Athlete of the Year 2011.
Tuesday 20th December 2011
With so many outstanding Junior Members this year the decision was taken to award a male and female Athlete of the Year who will each share the prestigious Jake Oakey Trophy for six months each. It was a difficult decision with so many members turning up regulary and training hard during our training sessions and also performing well in the Races. The two members we eventually chose were Felicity Darwent and Dillon Williams who have been members of the club for at least two years with Felicity currently 3rd in the U11 girls and Dillon 2nd, at only eight years old in the U11 boys, Gloucestershire Cross Country League. Last season Felicity came 11th and Dillon 29th so big improvements over the previous season and they have both acheived some excellent results in other races throughout the year for the Club. The Trophy was presented by Mary Hunt after the Tinsel Run at Bourton Rovers Football Club.
