Cross-Country

Sport

Bedford Prep School’s cross-country runners have, again, had a very good season. The main highlight of the season saw our U13 team, consisting of Isaac Raddan, Berkley Barnicoat, Charlie Gandesha and Henry Pask, fi nish in 2nd place at the IAPS Cross-Country Finals. A brilliant achievement.

The season wasn’t all full of highs, unfortunately, as the U13 team missed out on qualifying for the National Schools’ Cup Final by a single point, which was frustrating, but despite this, the boys carried on and achieved plenty of impressive results. Other highlights were winning the Maidwell Chase for the fi rst time in 9 years, Isaac Raddan qualifying to run for Bedfordshire at the English Schools, and Berkley Barnicoat becoming the Year 7 Bedfordshire Schools County Champion as well as fi nishing in 3rd place at IAPS despite being a year younger than most other competitors.

The U11s had a promising introductory season to cross-country. Despite a number of events being cancelled due to Covid, they performed admirably at both the Spratton Hall Relays and the Maidwell Chase.
