Congratulations to Travis M, in Year 9 who raced at the South of England Showground, Ardingly, Sussex. He had a fantastic day running for Hampshire Schools in the South East Inter Counties Schools XC race.
The Hampshire Schools Junior Boys Champion put in a super effort to finish in fourth place individually and to lead the Hampshire team to third place. The competing teams were from Berkshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex.
Starting in the top ten, Travis put in a big effort in the middle of the race to move into fourth place where he finished in a time of 10mins 23sec, only 5 seconds down on third.
After a strong XC season, Travis has now been selected to represent Hampshire at the prestigious English Schools XC Championships at Pontefract, Yorkshire in March.
Well done, Travis and good luck for your upcoming race!
