Sportsshoes.com National Cross Country, Parliament Hill Fields, February 22nd 2025 – U15 Girls National Cross Country Champion
For many, this promised to be the most competitive race of the day. And while perhaps the U13 boys’ event could claim that title, it was certainly exciting. It was tough to call with just a kilometre to run as a north v south battle was unfolding in front of the huge crowd that cheered the runners on from just about every part of the course. Gabrielle Pinder (New Marske), the Northern champion ran stride for stride with Kitty Scott (AFD), the Southern gold medallist and U13 champion a couple of seasons ago. It was Pinder who triumphed. “We’re used to hills where I’m from,” she laughed. “But it was so difficult out there as there were no breaks in the mud,” she added, again highlighting just how demanding a course this was.
