Jon Ireland, club development officer for Harrogate Harriers said:
To get one team to the national final is brilliant, but to have three teams competing and to come away with a silver medal performance is outstanding. This is testament to the hard work put in by both athletes and coaches who have helped to make this happen. A special thank-you to Mark Bryant and Drew Burdin for all their help in organising and managing this.
