Scottish Short Course XC Championships

Central AC senior men continued their winning ways at the Scottish Short Course Cross Country Championships over a fast 4 kilometre course in Kirkcaldy. Andrew Butchart took his third title at this short distance, to add to the two over the full 10K and led home a winning Central team with the club’s newest young seniors well to the fore.

Andrew’s post-race interview gave a flavour of the race. ‘I thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s always good to claim a Scottish championship title,’ said Butchart. ‘If that’s five individual golds in cross country then I’m very pleased with that given I’m much more of a track runner now. But my roots were in cross country and I still love it. The mud today made it a bit harder for me than it might have been – I think when the surface is as soft as that it maybe suits others better than me. It was a good race. At one stage I heard the crowd cheering people and realised those behind me were not too far away. I felt the first lap would be quicker and that’s what happened and I put in a bit of a surge to get ahead’. Andrew finished with a time of 11minutes 54seconds and always looked in control over a small set of serious contenders. One of those pressing Andrew was Club-mate Jamie Crowe finishing in a close-up fourth place in 12.02 with an individual medal just out of reach. Central were once again the winning team through the efforts of Under 20 runners Hamish Hickey (16th; 12.34) and Ben MacMillan (30th; 12.52) with Hamish taking second Under 20 spot. There was further proof of the health of the Club’s future as another Under 20, Tom Graham-Marr came through in 32nd place with 12.54.

Club stalwart Michael Wright mastered the mud in 48th place (13.12) and there were further signs of progress from Under 20, Telfer Gray (13.29). It was good to see Scott Brember getting his competition year back on track as the fastest in his Masters age group and overall 69th also with 13.29. Under 20’s Sandy Holl (85th; 13.40) and Aidan Shea (90th; 13.43) put in solid performances in this highly competitive race, as did Fraser Logan (91st; 13.44). Kier Howlieson (Under 20) has been missing from recent competition but here showed good form with a tasty performance in 145th with 14.26.

As what seemed like an never ending stream of runners crossed the finish line there were more than worthy efforts from David Eckersley (218th; 15.22); Under 20 Sam Burton (236th; 15.36), Charles Graham-Marr (261st; 16.04), Iain Dunsmore (288th, 16.23), Ben Noad (337th; 17.22) and Colin Alexander (358th; 17.45).

Central’s Under 15 Boys faced a one lap challenge of 2 kilometres over the undulating course and here Central’s Connor Bell again caught the eye with a superb run to claim an individual Bronze in a frenzied race to the line. Connor is a first year Under 15 so his 6min 18sec showing gives a flavour of what could still be to come. There was also praise for Cameron Kerr’s sixth place run in 6min 22secs as Cameron underlined his quality start to the Season. Euan Docherty and Ruairidh Burns both looked strong as they finished together with both recording 7min 9secs in 59th and 60th respectively as the Boys finished a fifth team in this age group.

Claire Houston was again Central’s first finisher in the senior ladies race over 4K with her 16.28 for 70th , Trish Milne was 114th in 17.39, under 20 Elizabeth Thompson was 130th (18.05) and Jane Waterhouse was 172nd (19.18) just outside medals in 4th in her over 60s categories all in a field of 251 finishers.

A strong contingent of Under 15 girls had the same 2 kilometre fast track as the boys, with Amy Cully (15th, 7.37) showing the fastest set of heels from the Central team, ably backed up by Mirren Henry (32nd, 7.48), Melissa Turnbull (37th 7.53), Anna McKinnon (46th, 8.04) Leona Melville (54th 8.15), Zosia Padden (57th , 8.20), Anna Buchanan (59th, 8.21) and Scarlett Roy (68th ,8.44) to finish 7th team in a highly competitive race. ...
