Strong finishes from our U15 girls and senior men’s team in the excellently organised SEAA road relay champs at Rushmoor. A long day of racing but sunny conditions and a great atmosphere made it a day to remember: Well done everyone!

With a thriving junior membership, Waverley AC well as other local clubs, were, and still are, keen to get more of our members active in this form of racing. With this in mind WAVAC along with Fleet and Andover have decided to create a new, local league called the Junior Cross country League. In 2018-19 Overton Harriers and Wessex Wyverns joined. Team Kennet joined in 2020-21 and Aldershot Farnham & District.

Well done to Waverley AC athletes - Owen (triple jump), Scarlett, Nat and Tilly (all discus) representing Surrey AA on a dryish Sunday at Oxford.
