Chris Cameron: "We had some good individual performances and new PR's set. Our top 3 girls packed it up well and now we need our 4-7 runners to run closer to them. We're definitely capable of doing this and I have full confidence we'll get there in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing how they respond at Paul Short in two weeks."
