 The KEVI winning team of Bertie Marr, Ryan Davies, Joe Dixon, Liam Roche, Ethan Philips and Will de Vere Owen Saturday marked a superb day for six athletes from the ranks of Morpeth Harriers, and also Senior Boy representatives of King Edward VI School, when after several years of attempting, they carried off the English Schools Cross Country Cup Championship of 2023, held at Woodbridge School in Suffolk.
Led by Will de Vere Owen, who finished an individual fourth, the squad produced an eleven-point winning margin over second placed Judd School of Kent, with The Sixth Form College of Farnborough in Hampshire a further eleven points adrift in third place. Further scoring support also came from Joe Dixon (7th), Liam Roche (23rd), and Ethan Phillips (24th). Also competing in the Senior Boys for King Edward were Bertie Marr (53rd), and Ryan Davies (79th). A total of 155 finishers faced the starter in the Senior Boys event. Another excellent North East result came in the Junior Girls event, where Birtley AC’s Olivia Murphy, representing Royal Grammar School in Newcastle, won by a nine second margin. As a direct results of their efforts, the King Edward Senior Boys squad have won themselves a trip to Kenya in 2024, where they will have the added honour of representing their country at an International event scheduled to be staged there, exact date, still to be confirmed.
