LAST weekend two young Okehampton runners, Molly Marvin and Sam Priday, who train with Okehampton Running Club, took part in the Devon Schools’ Cross Country Championships held at Stover School.

Both of these runners have been having a good season, being well placed in their runs for the club at the Westward League Cross Country races and having had successful runs at the South West Cross Country Championships earlier in the month. This good form continued at this meeting with both securing places in the Devon team at the South West Schools’ Regional Championships in Bath next weekend.

Molly had a 3,660 metre course to complete in the senior girls’ category where she finished in eighth place in 15 minute 43 seconds, while Sam also came eighth in the inter boys. class, running a 5,700 metre course in 21.16.
