AFD had another great showing on the day providing the winning team for 5 of the 10 races, coming 2nd in another and just missing out on a bronze in the U17 Men\u2019s race. Well done to everyone who competed, especially all those Individual runners who medalled on the day.

Given that the SEAA XC Championships is another deciding factor in team selection for the inter-counties it was important to place higher up the Hampshire scale than he did in the County Championships, so his 4th place Hampshire finish was a great result. There were a lot of other great performances on the day, both from AFD runners and from some great runners from other clubs, but a long day, and lots and lots of runners (1026 in the senior mens race alone) just adds up to too many to report on, so this one is a brief one. Well done everyone who ran, it is truly a great experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_882\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/?attachment_id=882\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-882\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-882\" class=\"size-large wp-image-882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Battle-for-the-Hill-800x338.jpg\" alt=\"Battle For The Hill - U17 Men\" width=\"800\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Battle-for-the-Hill-800x338.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Battle-for-the-Hill-400x169.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Battle-for-the-Hill-768x325.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Battle-for-the-Hill-250x106.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.runwrecker.co.uk\/wpsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Battle-for-the-Hill-150x63.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Battle For The Hill &#8211; U17 Men<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With quite a deluge on Friday night, it was no surprise that Parliament Hill was once again very muddy under foot, creating a technically difficult and physically demanding course for all runners.
