England Cross Country Relay Championships, Berry Hill Park Mansfield, 3rd November

With another show of club strength, Rotherham Harriers added another set of England medals to their collection.

The senior women's A team won the club's first ever senior medals in what was the 20th running of this event.

The Northern championship winning trio of Natasha Hatswell, Nicola Devine and Lori Handbury again proved to be the strongest Northern team, behind Southern winners Tonbridge and silver medalists Aldershot Farnham & Ditrict AC. Again the clubs strength in depth showed as the B & C team were again the first teams to finish in those categories.

The club again fielded 14 teams across the age categories. The U13 girls A team were 7th, the 3rd Northern team behind Middlesborough (5th) and Stockport (6th) and the first Yorkshire team.

The senior men's A team notched up their best position for many years in 19th position 5th Northern club and 3rd Yorkshire club team behind two very strong Leeds teams in 1st and 5th places.

The U17 women's A team finished in a very creditable 16th place, and were 7th Northern club and second Yorkshire club.

The achievement in all age groups was strong in terms of Northern and Yorkshire placings, and the athletes and coaches should be very proud of their performances at this top level of competition.
