PANVAC stars show their class in prestigious race
Thomas Preston and Seb Beedell both made the top 20 in one of the country's most prestigious cross country races.
The Peterborough & Nene Valley AC pair finished 16th and 19th respectively in the Liverpool Cross Challenge. They were joined in the under 20 field by clubmate Harry Hewitt who placed 60th of the 160 entrants, while Harvey Hancock finished 76th in the under 23 race.
Teenager Preston is forging an outstanding reputation on the club athletics scene.
The PANVAC star claimed an historic bronze medal at the 2024 National Cross Country Championships in September.
Preston’s third place finish in the under 17 race meant he became the first member of his club to gain a place on a podium at the Championships.
And earlier this month Preston, Beedell and Hewitt were a hair's breadth away from winning a National Championship title for their club.
The talented trio won the Junior Men’s silver medals at the National Cross Country Relays in Mansfield.
