Legendary status: Jane Waterhouse drives forward to take a record breaking 12th age group title.
THE Scottish National Masters Cross Country Championships at Kilmarnock saw a record entry of over 500 of Scotland's top senior runners face a tough course in worsening conditions.
The women tackled a 6000 metre course with Hazel Dean the first Central AC runner home as she crossed the line in 10th place overall and fifth in her W45 category in a time of 25:51.
But it was Jane Waterhouse who again triumphed to win her W55 title with a 24th place overall and 28:19 time, further building her legendary status with her 12th age group championship title.
For the men, their 8000 metre course cut up badly in worsening conditions, but a strong Central contingent made light work of these conditions.
David Eckersley was first Central finisher in 44th place overall, ninth in his W45 age group and a time of 33:02.
Steve Laing took on contenders in the W50 category and finished 53rd overall in 33.37 and eighth in his age group.
Liam McCabe was 85th in 35:23 as his marathon training paid off with greater endurance, leading in Hugh Buchanan (102nd, 36:22), Alan Gall (127th, 38:24), John Millar (163rd, 42:46) and George McHardy (177th, 47:47).
