[Not a valid template]A very young North Down team retained the Womens Under 20 Championship in Castle Park this afternoon in brilliant fashion, taking four of the first seven places.
From the successful Under 16 Championship team last November, Jessica Craig took the individual bronze in 17.52 with Lauren Scott just behind in 17.56. Ever improving Nicola Simpson was 5th in 18.23 and Womens’ Captain Kerry Iveston, the only girl from last years’ winning team 7th in 19.49, despite currently doing sprint training.
Had the Entry Submitter been less miserly and also entered them for the Intermediate Championship, they would have been third in that too.
A scoring womens veteran team proved harder to find this year and only two lined up. Lynn Wilson was 12th in 20.28 and Roma McConville 15th in 21.09.
