The Northern Cross Country Championships were held at Pontefract Racecourse. The skies were clear but the wind was gusting up to 50mph. The men's course consisted of three laps and was 8.4 miles, nearly a mile over length. Numbers were down with only 517 finishers, Ryan Greenwood led the team home in a very impressive 65th place, not far behind was Oliver Chadwick in 84th. Other counters were Jack Poland (147th), Rob Pearse (163rd), Chris Jones (172nd), and Dan Anderson (185th), this left the team in 13th place a great result.
