The three young men who were 3rd 4th and 5th in last year’s Selby Striders Family Fun Run moved up into the top places last Sunday when the run, which was supported by Selby Town Council as part of their Fun Day, and also sponsored by C.Dawson & Sons butchers and bakers of Brayton, was held on Selby High School grounds.
In first place was Jack Lowe of Sherburn High School, who held off a strong challenge from James Dawson from the host club Selby Striders Juniors, to finish the 1K course in 3 minutes 28 seconds, with James just one second behind. In third place was Harry Bromley of Selby Striders, a young man who has previously won his age group trophy in this event, who crossed the line in 3 mins 40 secs.
The Striders had the first two female finishers on the day, with Holly Walker crossing the line in fourth place overall, in a time of 3:55, and Elizabeth Hopwood taking 8th overall in 4:03. Wistow Primary School pupil Amanda Laurisonyte took the third female place in 4:13.
Outside of those first three places age group awards went to Adam Settle of Selby High School in the boys U/15s in 4:30, William Howard of Selby Striders Juniors (U/13) in 3:59, Alexander Tute of Snaith Primary (U/11) in 4:08 and James Sharp of Wakefield & District Harriers (U/9) 4:07.
The age group winners in the girls section were Penny Taylor of Selby Striders Juniors (U/13) 4:21, Katie Summerton of Brayton C of E School ( U/11) in 4:08) and Chloe Thornton of Carlton Primary (U/9) in 4:44.
