Wells City Harrier members of all ages have once again been out competing this past weekend (September 6th-8th) with over 20 competing at local multi-terrain races and a mile road race, and a further half a dozen at track and field when celebrating the Yeovil Olympiads 50th anniversary. There were a number of Harrier winners and personal bests at all disciplines with the Harrier team winning at the Ash Excellent 8, and individual winners in the Ash 8 and Fearsome5, the 'Naked Mile' and pbs galore at individual track & field events.
