Two Hercules Wimbledon runners racing for Surrey in the UK Inter-Counties cross country championships in Birmingham's Cofton Park on Saturday came away with team gold medals.

Surrey champions Liam White and Alex Robinson were members of the winning men's under 17 and junior men's races.

Robinson took part in the second of the eight races and was the fourth scoring member of the gold medal winning Surrey team.

He finished 45th out of almost 200 runners in the eight kilometres race in 27 minutes 21 seconds.

White was the third scoring member of the winning men's under 17 team. He finished 10th out of more than 250 runners in the six kilometres race in 19:18.

Another Hercules Wimbledon runner to return with a medal was Alex Bruce-Littlewood who was in the bronze medal-winning Kent team in the senior men's 12km championship.

He was 47th out of almost 300 runners in 37:39. He was the fourth member of the bronze medal-winning team.

Another Hercules Wimbledon runner in the senior men's race was Adam Przedrzymirski who finished 171st for Surrey in 40:43.

He was drafted into the team just three days before the race after one of the originally squad dropped out with an injury.

The youngest Hercules Wimbledon runner in action in Birmingham was Cassian Hyde who ran below his best form due the effect of a cold.

He was 51st out of 300 runners in the under 13 three kilometres championship in 11:08 and to represent Surrey in his first season of cross country running is an achievement.

Hercules Wimbledon sprinter Emily Martin followed up her silver medal-winning performance in the Surrey indoor championships by taking the bronze medal in the 200m at the British Universities Indoor Championships in Sheffield on Sunday in a lifetime best of 24.83.

It was an impressive improvement on her previous best of 25.32 set in the South of England championships in Watford last season and is the second fastest ever clocked by a Hercules Wimbledon runner.

It represented her third improvement of the day.

She shaved one-hundredths of a second off her best in winning her heat in 25.31 and then clocked 25.00 in winning her semi-final race.

She was not that far off the Hercules Wimbledon club record of 24.6 set by Janette Niccolls in 1997.

A contingent of Hercules Wimbledon runners were in action in the East Surrey League road relays at Dorking.

Joe Clark was the fastest member of the senior men's quartet finishing third on the opening 2.1 miles leg in 11:31.

Veteran Tony Austin (16:41), Matthew Sharp (12:53) and Zoe Phillips (13:04) were the other members of the quartet.

With three of the four fixtures contested, Hercules Wimbledon are heading the senior men's standings.

Her time was the second best ever recorded by a Hercules Wimbledon over 40 woman. David Barham was first Hercules Wimbledon finisher taking 18th place out of more than 800 runners in 39:19.

Ben Palmer, one of the youngest runners in the race at 15, who finished sixth in the Merton mini-marathon trial the previous day was 41st in 41:14.

Hercules Wimbledon youngsters once again dominated the Merton mini-marathon trial which was staged in conjunction with the Wimbledon Common parkrun on Saturday.

The 50 mini-marathon runners boosted the parkrun field to a record 202 finishers.

Ed Saywell just pipped clubmate Joe Toomey for top spot as they were both given 18:31 for the five kilometres course. Geordie Logan was fourth in 18:46, Ben Palmer sixth in 20:08 and Spencer Felix-Otoo seventh in 20:18.

Elliott Laville was one of the top under 15-year-olds in 21:55 while Michaela Knespl was first in the girls race in 22:10 with Rebecca Stone second and top under 15-year-old in 23:09.
