Jennifer Lees (16th), Leah Shaw (24th) and Mollie Jagger (26th) all supported Holly and turned in a great team performance for the club. In fact Holly and Mollie were so encouraging of the senior men and women during their races, running round the course shouting encouragement, they've been elevated to the position of 'Official Team Motivators'!!
