Thursday 22nd March saw the last cross country in the West Series take place at Chatelherault Country Park, Hamilton. It was perfect weather for the athletes to take part in their first event at the new venue to be introduced for future years.
A total of 203 athletes took part over six races with some great performances on the day and some very close finishes. Well done to everyone who took part today and also to those who received their series medal for competing in all three cross countries.
