Bremco North Devon Cross Country League saw its final race event of 2023 on Sunday 26^th November at Coxleigh Barton, Equestrian Centre.

Halfway through the Cross Country season and the Southmead contingent is growing from strength to strength. The U9s Southmead girls' team are currently in the lead out of all North Devon schools with 868pts, a massive 41pt gap from second place Woolacombe School. Incredible!

Helping us maintain this position is: Maisie C, winning every single race, Maggie T, on Maisie's tail in second and Dakota H, Freya S, Lana L, Bella-Blue S, Freda S, Zephine G-B and Aimee B who all place in the top 25 every race. An amazing collection of athletes. The sole flag bearer for the U9s boys' team is Issac B, who is doing an incredible job of raising the Cross Country profile for Southmead in his age group coming 27^th out of 73 runners on Sunday. Great job Issac. The U11s girls and boys' teams are doing well too, with consistency in the top 25 for Esme J, Nanise K, Arno W-D and Winter S.

Well done all of you incredible runners, we are all very proud of you. Good luck in 2024 for the second half of the season.
