Latest News - The Hunt

Following on from the success of our RSSBC video, made by our friends at Kukri Sports during the Lent Term, we are now delighted to have a short video of the RSSH that shows how The Hunt operates, how proud we are of our cross-country heritage, and how hard we are working to train the next generation.

Willie Jones, master in charge of the RSSH during the 1960s and '70s, had some verses published in The Salopian in 1989. These verses capture the spirit of the traditional RSSH runs in a quite magical way. Willie has recently revised and updated them, and they are accessible here.

My thanks to Willie for sharing them with us.

This year’s course for the annual Hunt Club Championships was a flat and fast ‘out and back’ run from Pengwern boat club, over the suspension bridge and down to the weir, with the return leg retracing the runners’ steps.  Having tackled the tough terrain of Pontesbury Hill last year, this course- whilst longer- favoured the speedsters.  ‘The Long Run’ as it is known, has been run annually since the very earliest days of the Hunt’s formation in the 1830s, and is always a closely-fought battle between the top runners within the club.  Unfortunately, Huntsman George Mallett was unable to contest the championships due to a niggling injury, though his name had already been etched upon the Birley Cup in 2010 when he was the surprise victor as a 5th former.  As such, the race was on between younger brother Ed and fellow Severn Hill athlete Seb Blake, who moved the pace on in the early stages as the lead pack headed down the river.  Closely behind was 5th former Otto Clarke (also of Severn Hill) and Senior Whip Tom Cousins (Port Hill), and with last year’s winner of the Mark Mortimer Cup for 1st Junior Boy absent through a chest infection (Churchill’s Rory Fraser), these four looked certain to be contesting the top places.  However, it was Ed Mallett who asserted his continued dominance with a swift 20.49 to ensure his name joins his brother’s upon the esteemed Birley Cup, with Blake in the runners-up spot with 21.16, and Clarke an excellent third in 21.34. 

In the Junior category, there was a clear victory for Oscar Dickins from Rigg’s Hall, this year’s winner of the New Boys’ Race, who now adds the Mark Mortimer Cup to his growing collection of trophies and medals.  Second junior was Theo Clarke, younger brother of Otto, with Charlie Godman (Moser’s) in 3rd. 

In the final category of the day - Senior Girls - we were delighted to be able to present Imola Atkins (MSH) with the Willie Jones Cup, a trophy she retains from last year.

Outside of the two major national events (The Knole Run and the Coventry Relays), MANISCCC is the biggest cross-country race on the schools’ circuit, a championship now in its 53rd year and one that the Hunt look forward to with some relish at this point in the season.  This year’s hosts were Sedbergh, seven-times winner of the Seniors event, and we travelled up to Cumbria knowing that they would be setting a very tough, hilly, and technical course.  On arrival and following a course inspection, our predictions were certainly accurate, with an extremely challenging  4 mile course set out for the Seniors, and an equally grueling 2.5 miles for the Colts.  Both races involved tough climbs, log jumps, water-jumps, and a good number of sheep to be avoided!

In the Colts race, whilst having won the event last year for only the second time and with an individual winner in Rory Fraser, we knew our squad this year would lack the depth to be able to retain the title, though our young side acquitted themselves extremely well, packing intelligently and helping each other in the tough sections of the course.  Indeed, at the close of the race, our four counters all came through in a group with John Dempsey heading the Hunt team up in 7th overall, Jake Samuel in 8th, Theo Clarke in 9th, and Tom McHugh in 10th.  This was particularly impressive running given that only Samuel and Clarke are regular runners, with Dempsey and McHugh normally to be found on the rugby pitches of Shrewsbury.  Our final runner Oli Lansdell placed 22nd, an excellent run for a 3rd former, and he will have gained valuable experience for next year when he remains in the Colts age-group.  The boys did extremely well to take 2nd place in the team event with 34 points, well clear of third-placed Wellingborough who were 13 points behind, though we couldn’t do enough to trouble a strong Manchester Grammar outfit who turned in 16 points.

Our senior squad went into their race determined to retain The Nutter Cup having won the trophy last year for the first time since 1999.  On the back of what has been a phenomenally successful season, we were determined to win our ninth trophy of the season at MANISCCC, despite tough competition from hosts Sedbergh and Manchester Grammar School, both of whom had placed highly at the National Relays.

After a promising start with some good hard running out of the pens, disaster struck when Huntsman George Mallett fell on one of the early downhills, tearing his knee open and losing valuable ground.  Indeed, having been amongst the lead pack, he suddenly found himself in the mid-20s and behind all our other runners.  However, in typically determined fashion, Mallett picked himself up and over the course of the next two miles gradually made his way up the positions until, incredibly, in the final lap he had forced his way back up to 5th position overall, where he eventually finished.  It was a remarkable effort, though a great shame that he had not been a part of the lead pack as he may well have challenged for the individual title.  That challenge was instead taken up by his younger brother Ed, who tracked the move of Manchester Grammar’s Ryan Ganose (who had come home 5 seconds ahead of him at the national Knole run), and moved up through the lead pack until he was chasing the lead runner.  However, Ganose managed to extend his lead into the final lap and with a stumble on one of the log jumps, Ed was unable to make any inroads on the lead, coming home nevertheless in an excellent 2nd position.  Next year Ed will look to challenge for the individual title, following in the footsteps of Oli Laws, who won in 1998, the only time a Hunt runner has won the individual title.

The Malletts were well-supported as always with a flurry of Hunt vests, with Tom Cousins proving his mettle on this kind of tough course by coming home as our third counter in 8th place, one of his best performances to date for the Hunt, and a measure of his strength as an athlete.  Close behind were Seb Blake in 9th and Ed Lloyd in 10th, with our final counter George Nugee in 17th.  Otto Clarke’s 18th will have been a disappointment, but it was a tough race for him with his footwear proving problematic over the unrelenting mud of the Sedbergh course.  Nevertheless, a team total of 51 points was enough to see off a strong Sedbergh outfit who returned 59 points.   A little close for comfort, then, but the team were deserved winners of the trophy, and once again proved the quality of running that is fast-developing amongst the Hunt.  Shrewsbury School is very much on the map as far as cross-country running is concerned, and we are proud of the position we now hold as one of the top three schools in the country for the sport, and once again, the leading school in the north.

In the championship’s history, 14 schools have won the Senior championships, with Shrewsbury having won the cup for the sixth time this year.  Our aim over the coming years is to move up the leaderboard as far as number of wins, and with our sixth championship win this year, we move just behind Sedbergh’s 7 wins (1986; 1987; 1990; 1991; 2000; 2009; 2010), Bradford Grammar School’s 8 wins (1980; 1982; 1984; 1985; 1996; 1997; 2001; 2004), and Manchester Grammar’s leading 10 wins (1968; 1970; 1971; 1972; 1977; 1978; 1979; 1981; 1983; 2008)

Following their best performance at the Coventry national relays since 1998 with a second place on Wednesday, the Hunt went into Saturday's County Championships brimming with confidence, and looking to defend their Senior and Intermediate Boys titles, and hopefully challenge for the Junior Boys and Senior Girls trophies as well.  Despite the cold weather, over 20 Hunt athletes took to the start-line of the various races at Oswestry, with a number of other Hunt athletes due to compete in a Midlands League fixture in Worksop.

In the first race of the day, our Intermediate boys packed in well in the opening stages, with Rory Fraser, Otto Clarke and Toby Lansdell all tucking in to the lead pack.  The pace was relatively conservative, with none of the runners prepared to push on the pace in the opening lap of the race.  Indeed, these were the tactics for our lead runners, who were instructed to take things easy in the first lap then push hard in the final lap.  An earlier than expected challenge was mounted, however, by the 2010 Junior Boys' Champion Ben Ashcroft from The Grange, though Rory Fraser sensed the danger and kept on Ashcroft's heels.  Going into the final lap, Rory pushed hard and secured a lead, eventually finishing the race in some style with a win by a comfortable margin, winning the championship individual title and following in the footsteps of last year's winner Ed Mallett (and becoming only the third ever Hunt runner to have won the county champs in this age-group since the competition was begun in 1978).  With Otto Clarke coming home in 3rd, Toby Lansdell just outside the medals in 4th, and final 'counter' Angus Hayward in 13th, the team total of 21 points was more than enough to win the trophy for the third year running, the 16th time in 34 years the Hunt have brought the title home.  Fraser, Clarke and Lansdell have all earned county selection for the Nationals on the back of their performance.

In the Senior Girls' race, we brought a quartet whom we believed could really challenge this year in a championship race that we have never won since entering it in 2010.  However, following a strong performance at the national relays mid-week, the squad spirit amongst the girls was running high, and there was real confidence in them all.  The race proved an exciting affair, with our girls starting the race modestly, but over the course of the distance, their training kicked in and their superior stamina told.  Imola Atkins pushed through the field, and despite being off the pace in the first lap, she eventually ran through the positions to take home the individual bronze medal, adding to the silver she won last year.  However, this year, Imola was backed up by a talented group of L6th formers, and with Anna Thompson coming home in 4th, Becky Home in 5th, and Libby Naylor in 6th, our team total was convincing and meant that for the very first time, the girls lifted the Senior Girls' County Championship trophy, a proud day for all concerned, and a significant and historic one, for this was the very first trophy won by the Girls' Hunt - the first of many we hope!  All four girls will travel to the Nationals in March at Taunton as part of the Shropshire team.

With two trophies already won, our talented Seniors took to the field knowing that the squad was a strong one, despite being without Huntsman George Mallett (the 2011 individual County Champion), who was left at home struggling with an injury.   Tactically, we were hoping for a similar race to the Intermediate boys, but Ed Mallett found himself breaking free in the opening stages and pushed clear of the lead pack, isolating himself as a front-runner.  It was a move that would later cause problems, for in the second lap, Ed was chased down by last year's silver medalist Ryan Heath from Telford AC, who strode past him and took a lead of around 15m.  Yet Ed did not give up, and in a spirited fight back, by the time the runners moved into the final lap, Ed was within 5m of Heath, eventually pulling past him and restoring his early lead.  By the close of the race, the distance between the two was significant, possibly as much as 200m, and Ed was able to come home as Senior County Champion, a title he will be able to defend next year.   He follows in the footsteps of not only his elder brother George, but five other Hunt individual champions at this level, including Tim Bedell in the very first championships in 1978.  In the team event, Ed's performance was matched by a very impressive bronze-medal from the rapidly-improving Seb Blake, 5th place for Tom Cousins, and 6th place for Ed Lloyd.  A score of 15 (10 points is the 'perfect score') meant that the Hunt easily retained the team trophy for the third year running, and all four 'counters' have earned county-selection for the Nationals.

In the final race of the day, the Junior Boys took as strong a squad as we have had in a number of years, and it was our hope that they would return the trophy that we last won in 2009, and come home with the fourth trophy of the day.  We weren't to be disappointed, with New Boys' Race winner Oscar Dickins in fine form, coming over the finish line in 4th place in what was a very talented field (including winner of Shrewsbury Schools' recent Prep Schools' XC Champs, Packwood's Freddie Fielding- very much a star of the future!).  Our four counters came home with an impressive score of 29, with Oscar's performance added to by Tom Sykes in 6th, 9th place for Gene Ratanadaros, and Barnaby Seager in 10th place.  The fourth trophy of the day was won by our Junior Boys, making this an historic clean-sweep of trophies!  Both Oscar and Tom will join the twelve other Hunt runners who have been selected for the Nationals, and we look forward to seeing some strong performances from them all.

PJM, February, 2012

Having placed third in the national long run at Knole Park at the start of term, there was real optimism going into the annual Coventry Relays, effectively the national schools' relay event, and certainly the most significant event on the schools' running calendar.  Past athletes at the event have included Seb Coe, and World Triathlon Champion Jon Brownlee, and the standard is always extremely high.  The Hunt have twice taken the national title - in 1995 and 1996, though we have not placed within the top three in the past 10 years.  However, as the race programme intimated, our recent rise up the placings in the past few years was "ominous".  Indeed, having placed 24th in 2009, we won the John Vickers Cup for Most Improved Team in 2010 having risen to 11th, then last year (despite being without Huntsman Cal Winwood), we placed 6th, the first time since 2003 that we had featured amongst the top 10 schools.

In what is a large-scale relay event (indeed over 50 six-man relay squads compete in the boys' race, with a total of over 300 runners), it is always important to secure a solid start, and we knew we could rely on 5th form speedster Otto Clarke to get us out of trouble early on.  A 12.37 leg for the 2.3 mile course was pretty much bang on what we had asked him to do, and though we were only in 8th position after the first leg, this was to be expected, with many teams placing their top runners first and second if they do not possess a consistently strong squad.  Indeed, at the close of the first leg, past-winners Manchester Grammar School were in the lead, though later they would fade to 7th overall, and they were tailed by QEGS Penrith, who could not match their strong opening leg and faded to 22nd.  Our second leg runner - Senior Whip Tom Cousins - ran a similarly solid 12.39, and despite dropping down to 9th position during his leg, by the close of his lap he was able to regain position.  Our tactics were to attack hard in the middle of the race and follow it up with a strong final lap, and it was during the course of the third lap that our strength in depth began to show.  Seb Blake ran a blinding 12.08 lap (narrowly just outside the top 10 times for the day out of all athletes), and with typical boldness, he picked off the athletes one by one, eventually taking us through the middle stage of the course into 3rd position, our target placing for this year.  We had spoken for many weeks about our prospects of reaching the top three and medalling at the event, and having done our research into our competitors, we were sure we had the quality and depth to achieve this.

Indeed, over the course of the fourth lap, despite facing pressure from Manchester Grammar's Ryan Ganose, Huntsman George Mallett broke the 12-minute barrier with an impressive 11.53, which we would later learn was the joint third fastest time of the day (with only seven athletes dipping under 12 minutes).  We held position in 3rd, and handed over to 5th former Rory Fraser, who had been briefed the previous evening at our pre-race pasta dinner about his role in the squad.  We thought we would be in touching distance of St Albans who by this point were in 2nd position behind Judd, leaders of the race since lap two and eventual winners.  Rory's task was not only to hold position but to try and keep us within sight of St Albans, who we believed were beatable, despite their squad having been selected to represent England U16 at the World Schools' in Malta later this year.  Rory ran a hard 12.27, which was important as it was three seconds quicker than the St Albans runner.  And so Ed Mallett took over in the final leg, with a distance of 20 seconds between the two teams, but certainly still in sight.  Despite being up against St Alban's Joe Redwood (winner of the 2011 King's Cup in Wimbledon), Ed was determined to run the race of his life and try and do all he could to close the gap.  As the two runners approached 'The Garden Section' of the course with just over 1.5km to go, Ed had unbelievably closed the gap to a mere matter of seconds, prompting Hunt coaches PJM, IPH and OKT to (almost) lose composure completely in their excitement!  Later, Ed would reflect that it was at this moment in the leg that he knew he could take Redwood, and to do so, he knew he would have to kick hard for 20-30m to get past him and put distance between them.  That he did, and as he sprinted down the final section and towards the finish in Memorial Park, the result was not in doubt, and Ed eventually finished 10 seconds ahead of St Albans, turning over the 20 second deficit, and in the process running the second-fastest leg of all athletes on the day, an incredible 11.49, improving over 1 minute 20 seconds on his time from last year.  In the end, despite their lead of over a minute and a half in the opening stages, the gap between Shrewsbury and winners Judd was a mere 30 seconds. 

Next year (6th February 2013), it is our belief that we can challenge to take the National title for the first time in 17 years.  Whilst we will lose both George Mallett and Tom Cousins, we need only look at our 'B' team's fabulous 12th position at the relays to see the depth coming through.  It was only two years ago that our 'A' team placed 11th, so this result was almost as impressive as our 2nd place, with the team (3rd former Oscar Dickins, Junior Whip Will Spencer Jones; George Nugee; Ed Lloyd; Angus Hayward; and Toby Lansdell) beating over 20 schools' 'A' teams, including past winners St Anselm's and King Henry VIII.

Further encouragement came from the girls' team of Becky Home, Imola Atkins, Libby Naylor and Anna Thompson, who were hoping to build on their excellent performance at January's Knole Run.  Following a solid opening lap of 16.44 from Becky Home, Imola Atkins's time of 15.37 pushed the team up the placings, and following further strong performances from Libby Naylor and Anna Thompson (17.47 and 15.46 respectively), the Hunt came home in 15th place overall out of 28 teams, an excellent achievement, particularly since last year we placed 24th.  There is a really strong sense of cohesion within the group, and they go into Saturday's County Championships full of optimism as we attempt to take the team trophy there for the very first time.

On Saturday the Hunt travelled to Uppingham with two elite squads, one in the Colts race and one in the Senior. This was the first of the four Midlands League races, which includes some of the best schools of the region. Among the competition were Oundle, Worksop, Wellbeck, Rugby,  Wrekin College and the hosts Uppingham. Both teams performed superbly, winning both the Junior and Senior team races.

The Junior team started their 2.4-mile race conservatively, with Rory Fraser among the leading pack and Otto Clarke tucking in behind, with our other five runners spread through the field. However, their fitness told in the late stages and several places were made up in a fast finish. Rory Fraser, Otto Clarke and Toby Lansdell had particularly strong races, finishing 3rd, 5th and 6th respectively, as did a fast-improving Angus Hayward - making a welcome return to Hunt racing - in an impressive 14th. This was enough to win the team race by 8 points.

It was in the Senior race that our dominance really told, however, with the Mallett brothers finishing the 3.6-mile course in a serene and imperious 1st and 2nd, and Seb Blake not far behind in 3rd. With superb efforts from Tom Cousins (6th), George Nugee (8th) and Will Spencer-Jones (14th), this team demolished the field and beat the second-place team by 81 points. Well done to all who ran on what proved to be a fantastic day for the Hunt.

Wednesday 18th January saw a terrific performance by some of the Hunt's less regular runners, as they stormed to victory in the Adams Dash, defeating Adams' Grammar and Wrekin College while our top squad were training separately for the upcoming Coventry Relays.

This 4-mile cross country route was a chance for some new talent to emerge, and they took that opportunity brilliantly. Angus Hayward finished 4th in an excellent return to Hunt racing, followed by Henry Dashwood in 5th. Tim Atkins, Theo Clarke and Jake Samuel also had strong races, making our team points total up to a very impressive 30.

The best run of the day belonged to Will Spencer Jones, however, who finished 2nd in his best performance of the season to date.

Well done to all who competed.

The annual Knole Run in Sevenoaks always provides a suitably rigorous and challenging season opener for the cross-country campaign, and the event- now in its 38th year- is one of the toughest and longest races the Hunt competes in.  Following our strong performance last year in which we moved inside the top five schools in the country, we were determined to make further strides forward this year, our primary goal in 2012 being to cement our position in the top three schools in the UK.  To that end, aside from the hard training of the Michaelmas term, ten boys returned early from the Christmas break for three days pre-season training at Hunt HQ for the weekend- Rigg's Hall.

Two boys teams travelled down to Kent feeling better prepared than ever before, and we were delighted this year to take for the first time a girls squad of some promise, and indeed the girls did not disappoint.  Despite having never competed on the 3.6km course, the girls looked impressive and reaped the rewards of their hard training with ARH over the winter term.  Amy Stockdale (EDH) was the standout performer coming home in 19th/115, and she was backed up by Imola Atkins (MSH) in 33rd, Anna Thompson (MSH) in 34th, Becky Home (MSH) in 51st, and Libby Naylor (EDH) in 91st.  With four runners 'counting', this meant that the girls were placed 6th overall out of 19 teams, a terrific result in their first outing at Knole.

In the boys event, a record field took to the starting line with 41 teams competing and over 320 runners competing.  Our strength in depth was palpable, with 'B' team runner Toby Lansdell (PH) coming home in 58th in a time of 39.16.   With further strong performances from Will Spencer Jones (PH) in 77th and Tom Fitzpatrick (R) in 144th, the 'B' squad placed 23rd overall out of the 41 teams, particularly impressive when one looks at the 'A' teams they beat from such notable schools as Brighton College, Oundle, Lancing, and Christ's Hospital.

We have high hopes for our top runners this year, and if the Knole is anything to go by, this will prove a vintage season.  Indeed, Huntsman George Mallett (S) was on typically fine form as he led our attack slotting in amongst the lead pack.  Having placed just outside the top 10 last year, he was determined to push higher this year, and we were delighted when he came home in 5th position overall.  His time of 34.11 would have been good enough for 2nd overall last year, a measure of just how competitive it is this season.  Younger brother Ed Mallett did well to ensure he came home in the top 10, and our final four counters came home in a flurry with 33rd for Churchill's Rory Fraser, 35th for Severn Hill's Seb Blake, 27th for Port Hill's Tom Cousins, and 44th for Ridgemount's Ed Lloyd.  There was a nervous wait at the presentation ceremony after the race as we knew last year's bronze medalists Abingdon would be close, but in the end, our score of 164 beat Abingdon's score by 23 points, and the team were able to go up and collect their medals for securing third spot.  There were only 24 points between ourselves and second-placed St Alban's, and though the gap between ourselves and winners The Judd School (who have now won the event three in a row) is still significant, we have closed the gap from 203 points last year, to 87 this year.  It will be all to play for at the National Relays in Coventry in just over two weeks time, and the Hunt will look to match their performance at the Knole with a top-three spot there as well, and indeed we will look to challenge for top spot.  Judd will be very difficult to beat, but we will certainly push them hard!
