BABCOCK SHETTLESTON 10km, INC SCOTTISH CHAMPS, GLASGOW, May 14

Huge under-20 prospect Natasha Phillips was a clear women’s winner in 33:00 which gave her the Scottish title with Kirsty Walker and Naomi Lang taking the other medals.

Recently turned 18, Phillips had passed her driving test the day before and this time moves her to fourth all-time among British juniors behind the Aldershot trio of Zola Budd, Steph Twell and Charlotte Purdue although her time was a UK best.

However, as Budd was South African-born and Twell and Purdue were 19 at the time and turning 20 during the year of the performances, Phillips’ time was the best ever British-born performance for an 18-year-old.

The leading master in fourth was W40 Sara Green, who was 10th in the UK Inter-Counties and ran 2:44 in the TCS London Marathon.

However, the top masters performance came from Fiona Matheson. The week after setting a British 5km record, she broke the UK W60 10km record with 38:08 and it was easily a world age-62 best.

The best gun time was previously Treena Johnson’s 38:31 from last year though Matheson did run a 38:39 gun time with a faster 38:19 chip time at Wilmslow last year.

Former English and UK Inter Counties cross-country champion Calum Johnson was a clear winner in 29:45 though the Scottish title went to race runner-up John Bell who was 44 seconds in arrears.

Alastair Hay and Ryan Thomson took the other Scottish men’s medals.

GORDON SMITH MEMORIAL RELAYS, Wallsend, Tyne & Wear, May 10

Sunderland Harriers led throughout the men’s relay over two-mile stages after Scott Armstrong’s 9:32 split, Martin Duff reports.

Stephen Jackson then increased the advantage before Joe Armstrong rounded things off with the second-best split of 9:16. Sunderland’s lead was chased, albeit to no avail, by 2022 Inter-County cross-country winner Calum Johnson, but the Gateshead runner did have the consolation of a fastest race time of 9:l2.

North Shields Poly took the M40 race after coming from behind to take victory by just nine seconds. This was after David Young had given Heaton a first leg lead with the fastest masters only team best time of 9:56. However, Sunderland’s Stephen Jackson was fastest in his club’s senior team.

NSP also added the women’s race as their Charlotte Penfold on the anchor leg was fastest overall with a 10:38 split after overtaking Elswick’s Justina Heslop en-route.

The separately scored W35 gold medals were won by Alyson Dixon’s Sunderland Strollers but her 11:01 fastest W35 race split was bettered by Penfold’s 10:39.

25th STRAGGLERS GREEN BELT RELAY. Hampton Court, May 13/14

Over a course with a new finish in Bushy Park and a much-shortened final stage, Thames Hare & Hounds looked to winning their third in a row but it was not to be as Ranelagh Harriers overhauled an early lead to claim the title, Martin Duff reports.

Thames had got off to a good start thanks to a first stage win from Hampton Court to Staines by Martin Alverez-Aspinar’s 73:16 for the 12.7-miles, as Clapham’s Steph McCall was the best of the women with 77:52.

Stage two saw Nick Twomey wrest the lead for Ranelagh and they retained the advantage despite James McMullan closing right up on the third stage from Boveney to Little Marlow with 66:55 for the 11.2-mile stint.

The holders then opened up nearly five minutes on the tough and hilly fourth stage 13.5-mile run on to Great Kingshill, and then out to more than 14 minutes on the fifth. This was another hilly stage and it was James Hoad’s 73:50 that did the damage for Thames over 13.5-miles.

Ranelagh snipped at the Thames lead over the next two legs to the end of stage 7, at Letty Green as the advantage was down to just over 12 minutes before Jonathan Smith sliced a further six minutes off of the lead by Dobbs Weir.

Ranelagh continued to eat away at Thames’ margin and, by the end of the tenth stage at Toot Hill, it was only a shade over two minutes, despite a strong M55 run from Ben Reynolds.

Ranelagh then swept into the lead on the 7.5-miles on to Blackmore thanks to Tom Cameron’s 50:52 so that at the end of Saturday’s runs they led by eight minutes.

Day two started with the 10.75-miles on to Thorndon Park and Twomey’s second run, with 64:01 more than doubled the Ranelagh lead, as Reynolds’ 72:18 showed in his aging legs.

By the end of the 16th stage, Thames were now more than half-an-hour down as Chris Biley won his second leg for Clapham in 56:15, over the 9.4-miles to Lullingstone Park, before Thames began a brief fightback.

This was through James Hoad’s second stage best of 78:05 for the tough and hilly 13.5-miles to Tatsfield.

Steph McCall took her second win too, with 87:53 for the stage’s second-best time.

Marc Leyshon then added his second stage win for Ranelagh it was now all but over for the holders, as they were again nearly 30-minutes down. His time over the tough and hilly 9.6-miles, to Boxhill, was 64:27.

Then, earlier stage winner James McMullan was headed by Ranelagh’s Jonathan Smith on the run to West Hanger and the lead was again 30 minutes and then even more as Tom Cameron ran 36:06.

Then it really was all over despite Martin Alvarez-Espinar adding his second stage win for Thames and Ranelagh had won by more than half-an-hour.
