 West Yorkshire Cross Country League 2022 - This league caters for all age groups from Under 11s to seniors.  Dates and venues for the 2022 season are:-

Race 1 - 8th October 2022 (Saturday) - Nunroyd Park, Yeadon.

Race 2 - 30th October 2022 (Sunday) - Thornes Park, Wakefield.

Race 3 - 13th November 2022 (Sunday) - Spenborough, Cleckheaton.

Race 4 - 11th December 2022 (Sunday) - Oulton, Rothwell.

Race 1 - 8th October 2022 - Nunroyd Park - Sienna Lavine had a fantastic run, winning the Under 11 Girls race and finishing 6 seconds clear of the rest of the field. This performance was all the more incredible when considering that Sienna is still in her first year as an Under 11 and is, therefore, one year younger than some of the girls in this age group.

Race 2 - 30th October 2022 - Thornes Park, Wakefield - Sienna Lavine was in great form again, winning the Under 11 Girls race with an impressive finish.

Race 4 - 11th December 2022 - Oulton - Another outstanding performance by Sienna Lavine saw her finishing well clear of the opposition to register her 3rd victory of the season in the Under 11 Girls age group. This 3rd victory enabled Sienna to finish the season as the overall winner of the Under 11 Girls age group. She is the first athlete from Pontefract AC to become an overall winner in the West Yorkshire Cross Country League in any age group, male or female. Julian Rutkowski also ran well to finish 10th in the Under 11 Boys race, his best performance this year.
