Teams do battle in cross country
Ayr Seaforth team tackle national contest
This year’s Scottish National XC Relay Championships took place on Saturday at an unusually mudless Cumbernauld.
The first race of the day was that of the Young Females where teams of three compete with an U13 athlete running the 2500m course first followed by either an U13 or U15 who then hands over to either an U15 or U17.
Seaforth had three complete teams and an incomplete team competing in this race with Team 1 giving the club their best result of the day with eighth place.
Next up was the Young Males who ran in the same format with there being three complete teams and an incomplete team.
With only two Senior Women available on the day it was an incomplete team of Gael Riddle and Ruth Kirk who competed in the Masters Women section taking on a 4000m course.
The Senior Men were well represented with three complete teams taking on the 4 x 4000m course.
