Hill Running Grand Prix success for Tommy and Alison

Congratulations to Tommy Lawrence and Alison West who are our 2008 Hill Running Grand Prix champions. Our popular series of hill races saw 46 club members take part in this year’s Grand Prix which featured 13 events with the best 7 to count. The opening event was back in February at the Carnethy 5 and it reached its conclusion at the Tinto Hill Race on Saturday.

Tommy Lawrence who has been in superb form on the hills this year won the men’s title with 346 points while Alison West won the ladies title for the 9th time in the past fourteen years with 298 points.

There was a tremendous battle between Steven King and Kenny MacDonald for 2nd and 3rd position and after their 7 counting events they were both tied on 341 points.
Looking at their 8th best counting event they were both still tied together but Steven edged ahead on their 9th best result by a mere one point to claim 2nd spot overall with Kenny securing 3rd. Andy Sim enjoyed an excellent year on the hills placing 4th on 327 points and Colin Reynolds placed 5th on 326 points.

Well done to Allan MacAulay who won the M50 award with 317 points (6th overall) and to Neil Campbell who won the M40 award with 222 points (8th overall).

Our ladies club captain Fabienne Thompson was in great form on the Scottish hills placing 2nd female overall with 250 points and Gail Murdoch excelled finishing 3rd lady with 145 points. Congratulations to Morna Fleming who wins the F40 award with 137 points (4th overall).
