CONGRATULATIONS to the Bristol & West AC senior women who wrapped up the Gwent Cross Country League team title once again over the weekend.
The squad retained their title based on five races with a huge winning margin of 354 points from Chepstow Harriers with the B&W B team taking third overall to underline the club’s strength in the competition this winter.
As team manager Chris Elson also pointed out in his report the B&W C squad finished 11th overall and first C team and the D squad were runners-up in their category. Finally the E squad also placed second.
“Another amazing statistic is that B&W AC had seven (including Katy Roy who has now joined us) in the first ten in the overall standings out of 590 women competing,” added a proud Elson.
Whichever way you look at it, the stats confirm a brilliant Gwent League campaign for the Bristol & West senior women.
