After a well deserved day off, our junior team was once again on song in the middle distance race with 2 women in the top 30 and two men in the top 50. These are exceptionally good performances.
Milla and Nea were just 6 seconds apart in 24th and 25th place and could have easily placed in the top 20 had a couple of errors not crept into their runs.
Cooper ran well into a 39th spot and Euan in 45th which is a great result in his first JWOC middle race.
Our other juniors also ran well in but the fields are so big and the competition so tough that just a couple of small mistakes see your results drop off quickly. One of the big take aways is seeing first hand not just how technically strong a lot of the top runners are but also their ability to execute their race at high speed.
