Junior 1 Mile Run

2010 Junior Award Winners

Wimborne A C’s junior runner Sharon Hutching finished tenth overall to retain her junior 1 mile title, reducing her previous time by 8 seconds. Last year Sharon was the only Wimborne A C runner amongst a mass of Poole Runners in the winners’ enclosure. However, in this year’s contest the tables had completely turned as she was joined by team mates Abbie Hine (2nd girl), Chloe Morris (3rd girl), Ryan Walbridge (2nd boy) and Piers Copriand (3rd boy) to claim five out of the six awards.

It was left to Poole Runners' Thomas East (1st boy) to represent the blues at the awards ceremony and prevent the reds from achieving a clean sweep of the trophies.
