Five members of the Worksop Harriers combined events squad represented their respective schools at the recent County Championship event. All five gained County medals and selection for their County in the Regional Finals, to take place at Abingdon in Oxfordshire on the weekend of 28/29th June. From the Regional competitions, the top County teams, along with the best individual athletes, will go on to compete in the National Schools finals in September at Chelmsford.
