Colchester & Tendring AC were privileged to host the Essex Schools Cross Country Championships over the tough Hilly Fields course in Colchester, for the third successive year.
There were a number of excellent performances by athletes from all over Essex, and the North-East Essex team showed up particularly well.
A number of their athletes have been selected to run for Essex at the English Schools Cross Country Championships, which will be held at Norwich in March.
