YHOA GALLOPEN 2008

Results after Rishworth have been added so that finalises overall results for 2008. The final total is based on the best 6 results out of the 9 possible ones. Congratulations to all the winners. Trophies etc. will be sorted out in due course.

There are no changes at the top of the JM class so Jake is a new winner ousting his brother who has won for the last 2 years. Florence and Megan are new to the top spots in the JW class this year. Yasmin who won last year is third.

Tim Tett kept his place at the top of the ML class but with a good last run Steve Whitehead moved into second place just beating Colin Smith by 1 point. Colin also improved his points total. At the top of the MS class, Steve Corrigan’s points total stayed the same as he did not run in the MS class for the last event. Even though the next 3 runners did improve their scores it was not enough to oust Steve.

Karen Clark and Amanda Crawshaw stayed as first and second in the WL class. Pam Brown stayed at the top of the WS class but Victoria Todd moved up to second place pushing Margaret Parker in to third spot.

I have mentioned at a YHOA committee meeting that the way that the Gallopen results are calculated does perhaps need a rethink. Calculations are done now in the same way that they were done when I took over the job. From next year with the new event structure at least partially coming in, new arrangements may be necessary. The competition as it is run at the moment would include the region’s Level 2 and Level 1 events. Level 2 will be colour coded perhaps with age classes mapped onto it and Level 1 will be age class based. The Gallopen does need a rethink. If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know and they can be considered.
