Sensible awarding of trophies/titles

[rocky]

I am writing as organiser of the BEOC Middle Distance Championships at
Mulgrave Woods on Sunday.

It appears that, due to an unfortunate error in the application of Event
Guideline H of the BOF Rules, the M20E and W20E medals and prizes were
incorrectly awarded.

I have been advised that the awards should have been made as follows:

M20E - 1st Hector Haines (AIRE), 2nd Joe Mercer (AIRE), 3rd Ben Stevens
(AIRE)

W20E - 1st Rebecca Roberts (SROC), 2nd Anne Edwards (TVOC), 3rd Jessica
Halliday (OD)

Many juniors did originally enter a different class to that which they
eventually ran in (though all were to run over the same course as the 21E
runners) but were subsequently re-allocated into their FCC age classes.

It is hoped that the medals be re-presented at the British Championships in
May.

My sincere apologies for this error.

Yours in sport

Congratulations to Hector.

I'm glad to see sense prevailed in the end!

It doesn't seem to worry the PFA how old you are - if you're good enough then you're eligible for all the prizes on offer, hence Ronaldo being named both Player and Young Player of the Year...
