BUSA

[Lard]

What a surprise. I really thought shuoc were going to thrash Euoc this time.







NOT!

if only we could have fielded a fully fit, full strength team...

I heard Vicky Stevens came 4th on Womens A. big boosch to her! and I think heather gardner on time would have been high up as an ex-brummie student. Theres going to be loads in with a chance for WUOC selections. Im' not entirely sure which races count as selection races, but I don't think it all rests on BUSA (at least I hope not!)

[mharky]

BUSA shouldn't really count for anything. What you can learn 20 WEEKS(!!!) before a race, I don't know.... but I guess they have to have it as one to please BUSA.

Speaking to David Rosen at the event today I think he said World Student selection races included JK, British, and the WOC selection races.

Here's the points scores after the individual:

1. EUOC 29
2. ShUOC 58
3. OUOC 115
4. UDOC 128
5. CUOC 133
6. Hallam 195

Off now to see who "wins" the social...

Any link to the results?

Any link to the results?

They'll be on the Shuoc page later today I guess, but temporarily I've put them here.

SPOOK won the raffle, the beer race and the food race. It's gonna be wet at the relays...

Thanks to Gareth and ShUOC for organising a fantastic BUSA champs - with clever planning two small-ish areas were turned into venues for two great races, even if going up that hill through Beeley got more knackering after every time you went up it...

See everyone down south somewhere near Oxford next year!

[rosalind]

Edinburgh seem very strong this year and I can't see Sheffield challenging them, even on home terrrain in the Individual, but I reckon ShUOC might just sneak a mens relay victory.

Well predicted, as it really was a sneaked at the end.
Go EUOC!
Success makes a long journey home more enjoyable...

[King Penguin]

No relay results yet - apart from first 3 ?

[distracted]

some other relay results that I can remember, for the teams in contention:

Women
4 - ShUOC
5 - CUOC

dsq - UDOC 1 & 2

Men
4 - ShUOC 2
5 - CUOC
dsq - UDOC 1
with UDOC 2 pipping Nottingham and OUOC 2 (not sure of positions)

which left CUOC 4th overall, and I presume UDOC in 5th

I thought both men's UDOC teams were disqualified when I looked at the results at one point but could be the second team got reinstated.

[EddieH]

UDOC must have some pretty special coaching, or is it diet? 3 (or 4) teams out of 4 disqualified!
