Bremner helps hosts March runners to second Frostbite League spot
March AC were out on a Frostbite Friendly League cross country mission on Sunday.
Being hosts to the latest race, not only was the event a huge success with 449 seniors from all over the county and 131 juniors but March runners pulled out all the stops and were second club out of 16 on the day.
With the first seven men and three ladies to count for the scoring March had all 10 of their runners home in the top 100. Top senior for the men was Billy Bremner leading the club and securing 9th place with a time of 29 minutes 13 seconds. Top lady was Emma Tuck 55th place and 4th lady overall with a time of 32.11. This result has moved the club up in the league to 8th position out of 16.
The Juniors secured 8th place on the day with Louis Benningfield leading the pack and crossing the line in 9 minutes 20 seconds, 11th overall. A big thank you to all of the club members and friends who helped on the day from marshalling, catering and setting up the course.
