You had to be very courageous and above all not chilly to come and take the start of one of the eight races on the program for the bi-departmental Aveyron – Lozère cross-country championship on the banks of the Tarn in Saint-Rome, yesterday.
Of course, the sun was willing to come and join in the fun, but it had a lot of trouble warming up the runners who came despite everything in large numbers, with exactly 276 finishers. The youngest started the day on frozen ground, but they kept smiling and the medal received on the line made them forget the suffering. Once this first race was over, the titles to be gleaned were in the minds of athletes, coaches, managers and even parents. Successes which spread to most of the department's clubs.
The two flagship cross-country races which closed the day saw the success of the blood and gold Julie Coulange, third in the race, with the Lozériens Anne Moulin and Adeline Roy in front of her, a racing order which did not vary from start to finish. 'arrival. Which was not the case for the boys or the almost local Mael Alric, in the Saint-Affricaine colors, dominated the event, with behind him a crossover which turned to the advantage of the Luco-Primaubois Loan Arguel , runner-up, and third place disputed between the two Ruthenians Joris Delmas and Samy Verien. In this same race, but in the master category, it was the president of the Aveyron committee who won, in the person of Nicolas Vacquier, under the colors of Luc-Primaube and in front of his structural teammates, the blood and gold Nicolas Izard and Laurent Debaene.
The cross courts saw Nicolas Fernandez (Rodez) cross the finish line first, ahead of Simon Izard from LPA. Among the women, it was the almost local Axelle Bernat, in the colors of Rodez, who won the title. In two weeks, the level will be completely different, this time on the Cagnac courses for the quarter-final in the western sector of the League.
