CROSS COUNTRY, 1976

Conditions were ideal for this year's cross country so it was no surprise really when Chris Hirst's winning time of 22 mins. 37.9 secs., became the new record.

That apart, the main interest revolved around the team contest between Queen's and The Manor. The first six runners from each house count towards the inter-house trophy and Queen's whose 6th runner was placed 19th overall, could well have expected to win. Manor however. had 4 of the first 7 runners and this was good enough to secure them No. 1 team position.

THE JUNIOR LONG RUN

In the inter-house Junior competition we had the largest number of competitors as yet, with 161 starters and finishers!

Kevin Miller's winning time of 18 mins. 21.7 secs. was well outside the record time but was nevertheless a creditable performance.

With 12 places counting towards the Inter House Junior trophy, it is the minor placings which count in this competition and this time Queen's were able to score well "at the back" and clinch the trophy.

RESULTS: 1st K. J. Miller
