Oswestry Olympians Juniors completed their cross country season with a superb haul of medals after the final Shropshire Young Athletes meeting held at Oswestry School.

Leading the way were the U17 Boys team who were clear winners over the season with Ollie Coburn also taking the individual title.

The weather affected the league this season with the Much Wenlock race cancelled totally while this end-of-season meeting was rearranged after snow, ice and fog forced its postponement.

Making successful SYAL debuts on the day were Charley Olufsen and Edith John in the U11 girls race.
