Harriers

Harriers

At the present it seems certain that D. Beauchamp, M. Honeyfield and R. S. Clark will be the stars of the V.U.W. Harrier team at Winter Tournament this year. D. Beauchamp has recently struck form and is running well within the standard of the top 20 harriers in the province. He should manage a good placing in the Tournament race. M. Honeyfield and R. Clark are both reasonably fit and determined runners. Also they both have three tournament runs chalked up already and so should enter Tournament this year experienced and hopeful.

The Rest

The team will be completed from the following men: B. Wilson, G. Caddie, T. Thornley, D. Eaddy and B. Wharton. B. Wilson is a strong runner with a steady record behind him in this year's events. In last year's tournament, though a newcomer to the sport, he ran a good race, finishing well up. This year should see an improvement. G. Caddie is very fit this year and if given the chance he would be likely to run himself tenaciously into a good fourth or fifth man position. J. Thornley, though not as fit as he could be, has run three or four good races this year. This man could run a binder and finish in the top 10 at Tournament, if he is given the chance. D. Eaddy and B. Wharton are both junior runners, but have been turning out with the fast pack at the weekend runs. D. Eaddy is a powerful runner and has led our junior team home in the junior races. B. Wharton is fit and, given the incentive, is capable of turning in a good race.

Although some of our best runners are ineligible for Tournament the team will still be a strong one. Already this year it has beaten Massey on the very course, that Tournament will be run on.
