March Stag Trophy

There were nine personal best times in the March Stag Trophy race, which was the penultimate one of the season. First home was Jane Sauer with a huge PB by over a minute to take the 25 points. There were five of the U16 members of the club who ran once again, and all five of them achieved a new PB, with Jake Irvine just pipping Joe McGarry for second place on the night.

Prior to the race, there were three people who could take the title, with Steve Orlando the strong favourite with 112 points in the bag. Ian Grimshaw was one of the challengers, but needed to win the race to stay in contention, so despite another PB after a hard race with Andy Inchley, his 7th place has left him fighting for the minor medals. However, another big PB by Dan Webb saw him splitting the junior members and coming home 4th on the night for 22 points. This result just about keeps him battling with Steve for the top prize.

So, with one race to go, this is the situation. If Steve finishes in the first four he cannot be caught. Dan needs to finish first to stand a chance of topping the table, but a second place finish could possibly see a tie. Ian Grimshaw is currently second, while Fred Watt and Jordan Clay currently lie in joint third, but Warren Rose & Andy Inchley are also competing for podium places with them.

All of the latest results, lists of all the PB's ever, hints on how to run it and results from previous years are all available on the Stag Trophy pages. The final race of the season is on Wednesday 7th April, so the more people running the merrier it will be!
