Coiners Fell Race
The Second English Junior Championship race was held at Coiners Fell in Mytholmroyd.
New to the series Esme Critchley entered the U8’s this was her first Fell race and finished 4th girl, a future RMI champion in the making.
Next up Lauren Fairhurst in the U10’s and granddaughter of Tony Hesketh had a tough race but persevered and came home as 16th girl.
In the U12’s race a big field of over 40 runners were out to claim their points in this series. First to the summit for the team once again was Phoebe Howe just behind was Nathan Townsend closely followed by the reinvented Cameron Critchley who was being chased by Will Townsend. It appears size matters coming down as Nathan was once again first RMI down being 3rd boy closely followed by Phoebe again 3rd girl and Cameron down as 7th boy, even better Will Townsend came in12th, 5 places better than last week, well done Will.
The U14’s outing consisted of Joseph Howe and Jonathan Powis. Joseph going 2 better than last week and being very pleased with his own performance came in 10th boy. Jonathan having just moved up to this age group held on for a brilliant 19th place, his best Fell to date.
Last but not least could Zac Howe put in just as strong performance as last weeks. A strong finish earned him 9th boy home in what was extremely muddy under foot high up the Fell.

Anniversary Wa!
The First of the English Fell Championship races took place @ The Anniversary Waltz in Stair Cumbria.
In the U13's race our team consisted of Phoebe Howe for the girls, Will Townsend, Nathan Townsend and Cameron Critchley. As the race set off at a fast pace is was Phoebe Howe that was the first club runner to the steep summit.
Just behind Phoebe @ the top was Cameron who has clearly found confidence and form for this race. Nathan was next just behind our 2 front runners. Will was not far down having run up parts others barely crawled. In the decent it was whoever could keep upright whilst literally bouncing down the Fell. And in the final race to the finish it was Nathan just getting 3rd placed boy. Cameron 7th boy in, Phoebe was 3rd girl and Will came in A gallant 17th.
In the U 14's Race Joseph Howe and Jonathan Powis had their work certainly cut out with a higher Fell to claim. Joseph made a great start but found the hands and knees approach somewhat challenging and got to the summit in 12th. His decent proved just as positive and 12th was his final placing in a field of 45 runners Jonathan in the meantime found the move up to U14's rather difficult after weeks of injury and felt he needed more time to have prepared.
Lastly it leaves our stalwart Zac Howe who was just out for a good run, That turned out to be the run of his career so far finishing a fantastic 8th Boy. Having a result as good as this puts Zac on a high for the rest of the season.

Track Closure on Thursday 29th April 2010
Hi all,
I have been advised by Bolton Arena, that the Outside Track will shortly be closed for "cleaning and remarking".
It starts on Monday 26th April for track cleaning only, which is fortunately still leaving us with the track free for use as normal on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights of that week!
However, on Thursday 29th April 2010, the remarking starts, so on this day there will be NO TRACK OR FIELD ACCESS.
Normal access will resume the following week. Obviously note that Monday 3rd May is actually a Bank Holiday, so there is NO training that day either!
Will all coaches please inform their athletes of this closure.
Kind regards
Mark Dacre
Junior Coach
Horwich RMI Harriers & AC
