Results Summary

Thanks to Nick for planning some great courses. Oxford won the men's match and took the second and third place, but the course was won with a great run by Matthew Vokes from Cambridge. The overall race was close with only 10 minutes separating the two teams. Cambridge won the women's match and also took the top three places, the winner being Katrin Harding. Cambridge also won the men's B and C races. Unfortunately one of DrongO's star runners, Ben Windows, was injured, so JOK ran away with the alumni match trophy. See the above links for full results.
