ShUOC's team, comprising of Louis James, Andrew Macdonald, Dominic Green, Abbie Walker, Rebecca Ward & Freya Tatham, had a brilliant race placing 4th overall in the mixed teams category! This was the first time that we know of, that ShUOC has put forward its own team rather than just running under local clubs (ye oldie SPOOK members let us know if this isn't the case), so congratulations all!!!
