Southend High School for Boys and Girls dominated the races at the Southend Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships held at Blenheim Park in Leigh.

However, the Eastwood Academy Boys team pushed Southend all the way in every race and managed to secure a team win in Year 9, while Beau McDonald secured first place in the Year 7 race and Rhys Munrow in Year 9.

Southend Girls were very dominant, winning every age group’s team race.

But Eastwood Academy Girls and Westcliff Girls pushed Southend hard in every race while Megan Harris, from the Eastwood Academy, won the Years 10/11 race.

The fastest eight runners from Year 8/9, 10/11 and 12/13 races will now be selected for the Southend teams at the Essex County Schools Cross Country Championships in January.
