Cornwall Athletic Club enjoyed another successful Brooks Westward League season when the final event was held in warm spring sunshine at Redruth School last weekend.

The local club finished in the top three in six of the seven age groups, winning the under 17 men team title. The strong under 17 team won five of the six winter races, with Conor Robinson retaining the individual title and Andy Worden finishing well clear of any close rivals in third place. Cornwall AC finished second in four age groups, with the club’s under 13 girls fielding a stronger teams than for many years, with young Katie Hughes, who remains eligible for this age group for the next two years, leading the way throughout the season, fully deserving her overall position, just outisde the top three.

Cornwall’s Senior men’s team provied to be no match for a strong Exeter Harriers squad, who won the team title comfortably, although the host club, with their five scoring runners in the top 12 places, had the satisfaction of winning the final team race by a wide margin. Ollie Shilston, showing a welcome return to glimpses of his old form, finished second, with team captain Dave Buzza, getting the better of Exeter’s top two runners, as he battles back to fitness after injury, crossing the line in third place.

Both of Cornwall AC’s Under 15 teams finished in second place in the overall standings, with Sam Heslop-George winning overall silver in the Boys section, behind his season long rival from Plymouth AC, David Weir.

A resurgent Under 13 Boys team, led home once again by the improving Jordan Walklett (5th), who was closely followed by Fynley Caudery (6th) and Saul (7th), sneaked into the overall top three in third place, overtaking Tavistock AC in the final race.
