Surrey Cross Country Championships, Lloyd Park

At a very windy Lloyd Park on Saturday perhaps the best Holland Sports result was recorded by Jack Arnold. Running in the 8 km Under 20 Men's race Jack, who is only 17, finished in 12^th position in a time of 34:51.

Two of Holland's top women runners, Tracey Mustoe and Maggie Statham, were the club's only representatives in the senior women's event, also run over the 8 km course. Tracey repeated her excellent recent form by finishing in a fantastic 15^th position, only two places behind leading vet Janet Ray of DMV, recording a time of 36:13. Maggie, who on Saturday belatedly received her medal for finishing as third vet in Surrey League Division Two last season, had a difficult run and struggled round to finish in 33^rd position in a time of 38:39.

In the 12 km senior men's race, the seven-strong Holland team, led home by Mick Chappell, finished in 10^th (last!) position, but clubs like Boxhill Racers did not even field a team. The individual results were as follows:
