SELECTION FOR ANGLIAN AND ESAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Updated January 2024
The two Suffolk races help us decide who to select for the Anglian Counties Championships. We take up to 16 runners (plus four reserves) for this regional inter-county Cross Country event and then select eight (plus four reserves) for the English Schools national event. (Reserves only attend the event if called upon beforehand.) There is no race for minors (years six and seven) at the national event though they do compete at the Anglian event.
The two Suffolk events are partly seen as trials. A top 50 place in the first race leads to an offer to compete in the second race. We also welcome additional runners to the second event who were unable to compete at the first one, and also any runner who was unhappy with their performance is welcome to enter too. After the second race, we select those who will represent Suffolk at the regional event.
After the Anglian race we take the results from all three races into account to decide on the team for the English Schools national championships. For both the Anglian and national teams, we consider any injury or illness that we are aware of. It is essential therefore that within one week (two days for the Anglians) of an event the lead manager and the relevant team manager are emailed with details of any difficulties as to why a runner could not compete or if they feel there is a valid reason for any under-performance.
It is in an athlete’s best interest to run in both Suffolk events and then in the regional event. Competing in just one race makes it more difficult to select a runner. Runners should be aware that even if they finish in the top 8 position in each race there is no guarantee that they will be selected for the regional or national event. We discuss each athlete at length between the team manager and the lead team manager. We consider performances in all three races alongside knowledge of any injuries/illnesses. Whilst the most recent races will be the most relevant, we will look at performances in all, including times in the first race at RHS. Where there is a decision to be made between two very similar runners, we will consider other recent races or information that we are aware of. The decision of the lead team manager is final.
