Serpie women have won silver in the AAA marathon champs

the London marathon was, as usual, also hosting the AAA marathon championships. I\’ve no idea why it always takes so long but the AAA have eventually announced the team positions in that championship.
I\’d like to congratulate Barbara Yff, Grainne O\’Donnell and Vikki Stringer who won the silver medal in the women\’s race.
21st Barbara Yff 2:50:36
54th Grainne O\’Donnell 2:57:27
67th Vikki Stringer 2:58:44
I believe this is the first time Serpies have won the silver medal (our women have won bronze at least twice before). The other team positions were:
MEN
1st Salford Harriers 6:57:33 (AAA of E) 1st
2nd Thames Hare and Hounds 7:02:58 (AAA of E) 2nd
3rd Cardiff A.A.C. 7:17:10
4th Belgrave Harriers 7:41:53 (AAA of E) 3rd
WOMEN
1st Newcastle Staffs A.C. 8:43:31 (AAA of E) 1st
2nd Serpentine Running Club 8:46:47 (AAA of E) 2nd
3rd Belgrave Harriers 8:54:33 (AAA of E) 3rd
4th Shaftesbury Barnet 8:57:57 (AAA of E) 4th
As you can see, Barbara, Grainne and Vikki were really close to getting gold! Maybe next year 😉
