SNOW and ice forced the final round of the Oxford Mail Cross Country League to be cancelled.
Following the inclement weather, organisers felt it was not possible to run the event at Farmoor on Sunday, March 4, in a “safe and timely manner”.
The league’s manager Dene Stringfellow said safety for participants, volunteers and the set up crew had to be the priority.
This has led to the final standings being determined from the first four rounds.
Radley’s Emma Huepfl topped the ladies vet 45 category, while Abingdon’s Mieke Bedlington (U15) and Radley’s Rachel Burton (U17) were also victorious.
In the men’s event, Abingdon’s Jack Shayler won the under 20 honour.
An awards presentation will be held at a later date.
At the CAU Inter County Cross Country Championships, Abingdon’s Jack Shayler, representing Oxfordshire, finished 62nd in the under 20 men’s race.
