A low and gray sky… Rain, wind and even a little hail at times… A greasy, heavy, muddy track… Real weather to put runners in cross country outside and ideal conditions to decide between the best in the discipline in Ille et Vilaine.
From the youngest to the masters, 1,500 female and male athletes met on Sunday, January 8, in the enclosure of the space Pierre-Rouzel in Liffre pour into unravel.
On a varied, selective track, with two beautiful mounds and a few false flats of the paw-breaking type, they offer a pretty spectacle.
Laure Bertrand sees double
The Women’s Elite Hope race was perhaps the most contested of the day. A long time, Laura Bertrand and Mathilde Jaguin were neck and neck.
It was ultimately the youngest, Laure Bertrand (Entente Athlétique du Pays de Brocéliande), who won a double crown: hope, her category, and senior.
Junior French champion last year, Laure Bertrand is off to a strong start and is continuing her ascent.
For the men, we first witnessed a three-way match. Right away, Adrien Pilleux (HBA)title holder, Alexis Gueroc (EAPB) and Mael Gouyette (HBA) took the tangent.
Then Maël Gouyette broke away. To never be taken back. He finished 20 seconds ahead of Adrien Pilleux.
A little earlier, in the Masters race, we saw nothing but green. That of theEA Pays de Brocéliande.
behind a Charles Delys untouchable (he was 11th at the France Masters 2022), his two friends Pierre-Henri Gueguen and Pierre Raux complete the podium.
Launched in a recovery operation, the Fougerais Alban Chorin finally failed by a few seconds.
Léna Auvray and Fleur Templier gave the lesson
In juniors, Flower Templar was ruthless. Insolent with ease and mastery, the athlete from EA Pays de Brocéliande killed the suspense at the start by offering an acceleration that left all her competitors on the spot.
17 minutes later, she crossed the line, far, far ahead of her second, Jeanne Pelissier. A performance that allows him to consider a result at the national level.
It’s not his discipline. Youth Olympic champion in the athletic market last summer, Lena Auvray nevertheless largely dominated the younger race.
The resident ofAthlé Pays de Fougères ran his lead as he went. Inexorably. To finish in an armchair with more than 200m ahead of her pursuer, Aelig Guillou Upper Brittany athletics.
Qualified for the Brittany championships, Léna Auvray, except in the event of a glitch, has the capacity to climb to France. Where she will try to do better than her 11th place last year.
Finally, in the men’s juniors, under the deluge, the race was reduced to a match between HBA athletes. Brann Duval finally prevailed Julien Leonard and Leo Conil.
