Chahal's top-ten finish proves the highlight for the C&AC juniors
The under-15 boys ran next over 4k. With Jai Sispal, Leamington C&AC’s likely medallist having to withdraw due to a broken arm sustained playing football earlier in the week it was left to Cameron Williams-Stein to represent the club.
Williams-Stein, principally a multi-event specialist, ran with great determination for an excellent 23rd in 15:03.

Mel Gould ran her usual strong race to lead the team in for 28th in 13:29 and was well backed up by Eva Fitzpatrick (70th in 14:24) and Hannah Cooper (77th in 14:29).
On the same course, the under-13 boys ran enthusiastically with Harry Bailey (80th in 14:03), closely followed by Ruaric Winston (85th in 14:14), Sam Morrey (87th in 14:24) and Diarmuid Winston (96th in 14:59).
Dom Priest had a good first lap in the under-17 men’s race but unfortunately twisted his ankle and had to pull out, while Adam Houghton (Kenilworth Runners) finished 40th in 23:40.

In the under-20 men’s race over 8k, Kieran Chahal (29:09) ran superbly to finish eighth, the club’s best individual result of the day.
