Yorkshire XC, Sat 10 Jan

Ian Rowbotham competed in the senior men's race in Rotherham, finishing 96th in 40.21
Ilkley was also represented in the U15 boys race, and we had a team in the U13 girls race (more on the Junior web site).

Terry Lonergan adds ... Sub zero conditions posed great problems for the runners as many arrived with 15mm spikes fitted which made no impression on the hard ground. Naturally many fitted a shorter length whilst others opted for studs or even road shoes! With several looping circuits built into the hillside it was a testing course but it made spectating easy! Ian’s fell background stood him in good stead as he recorded a solid 96th placing of the 205 who tackled the extremely difficult conditions.
