PREVIEW OF THE 2013 INTER-UNIVERSITY RACES The scene is set for two interesting races. In the 38th Ladies’ Race, Cambridge are able to boast three former winners - including 2011’s and 2012’s - and start as warm favourites to take the honours and narrow the gap in the series to eight. Of the three, Alison Greggor (King’s), who won as a fresher 12 months ago, looks best placed to repeat the feat. Lucy Gossage (Downing) will be hoping to find her 2011 form, when she headed a pack of five Oxonians, rather than the disappointing eighth place last year. Like her, Polly Keen (Downing) - making her seventh appearance - will be hoping to recapture more distant glories, in her case her 2006 victory. Despite the apparent strength of the Light Blues, Oxford’s cause is not without hope. Joanna Klaptocz (St. Hugh’s) and Sophia Saller (St. Catherine’s) return from last year and both are in the shape to improve on their ninth and seventh place finishes. Klaptocz, in particular, will be hoping to repeat her 2011 run, when she finished third. Emily Moss (St. Anne’s) will be keen to put her track pedigree to good use and Emma Hodson (Merton) has moved up strongly from the Turtles team. Their hopes have inevitably taken a bit of a blow with the late withdrawal of Katie Hickson (St. Catherine’s); however, their trump card may be the American, Claire McIlvennie (Merton), who brings with her some N.C.A.A. pedigree and has led home the team in each of their races this season. With their greater depth of experience, Cambridge will go to the post as favourites, but if Oxford can run well as a team and seize the moment, they could spring a surprise. The outcome of the 123rd Gentlemen’s Race is difficult to call. Until two weeks ago, the Light Blue men were similarly warm favourites to their female counterparts. However, that has all changed with the loss of their top runner, Alex Short (Robinson). Short, who was fifth on debut last year, had been the stand-out runner of their season and the clear favourite to take the individual honours; however, his selection for the British team for the U20 European Cross-Country Championships in Belgrade tomorrow means that Cambridge are deprived of his services. It is sad that a runner of his calibre will be denied to the race, although Oxford, having lost their top runner in each of the last two years to the vagaries of the N.C.A.A. qualification regulations, are unlikely to have too much sympathy. In his absence, his Southend team-mate, Tom Frith (St. Anne’s), will fancy his chances of improving on sixth place in 2012 and taking the individual win for the Dark Blues. However, he will be hard pushed by two other runners who ran well in the European Trials in Lewis Lloyd (Pembroke, C) and Will Christofi (University). Lloyd will be hoping to improve on his 13th place finish last year and certainly is in the form to do so and Christofi will be looking to put down a strong marker in his debut race, having arrived at Oxford with an impressive schoolboy pedigree. Likely also to be up there again will be last year’s second and third place finishers, Sean Ledger (St. John’s, O) and Joe Christopher (Downing). Keeping them close company are sure to be William Ryle-Hodges (Queens’) – who will be hoping to emulate his third-place finish of 2011 – and Adam Speake (Worcester) whose performances this season suggest that he should significantly improve on his 14th place last time out. Beyond these runners, both teams are sprinkled with new Blues, which means predicting the outcome is fraught with difficulty. Cambridge do also have two old Blues in James Chettle (Clare) and captain, Matthew Leach (Churchill); however, Oxford, with two graduates in their ranks in Glen Colopy (St. Cross) and Tom Quirk (Jesus), may have the slightly more solid eight. It is likely to be a very closely fought battle and it will be side that rises to the occasion better that emerges triumphant. With the two sides locked at 61 wins apiece in the series, the added bragging rights on offer means that it should be a good contest for the spectator. The two races will be preceded as usual by the Old Blues’ Race, which reaches its 22nd instalment this year. Oxford will be looking to extend their recent dominance by registering their eighth win in a row and tenth in 11 years.
INTER-UNIVERSITY RACE COURSES The courses currently used for the Inter-University Races were introduced in 2000. Both start and finish at Thames Hare and Hounds’ Headquarters on the Memorial Playing Fields at Roehampton Vale. Ladies’ course (4 miles) Referring to the map opposite, and not including every point passed, the ladies’ race proceeds from the start to the finish via the following: A – B – C – E – U – W – P Gentlemen’s course (7½ miles) The gentlemen’s race proceeds from start to finish via: A – B – C – E – V – F – T – B – C – E – U – W – P The courses feature a number of prominent landmarks. The infamous watersplash is reached shortly after the start, runners crossing Beverley Brook from the playing fields. The Windmill provides a good viewing point to spectators. The ladies’ race passes here once and the gentlemen’s race three times. Refreshments can be enjoyed at the café. The muddiest part of the course is invariably the dreaded Butts. Only a mile or so from the finish, the boggy conditions sap the strength from the toughest of competitors. Spectators who follow the races round the Common are asked to be aware of their position at all times and avoid causing irritation to other users. The Common is shared by many sports, including a golf course, the fairways of which may not be immediately obvious. While the races themselves do not cross any of them, spectators are likely to if they are following the races. We also ask you keep off of the sports pitches on the Memorial Playing Fields, where the races start and finish. Our ability to host these races on the Common depends on your co-operation. Thank you.

10 years ago - 2003 The Light Blues registered their first double since 1992 with two narrow wins. In the 28th Ladies’ Race, future Olympian, Julia Bleasdale (Pembroke), led her team to a 16 points to 22 victory. The closeness of the contest was shown by the fact that positions one to ten alternated between the two sides. In the 113th Gentlemen’s Race, Fraser Thompson (Wolfson, O) registered his second win, but a pack of five Light Blues in the next six, including another future Olympian in Andy Baddeley (Caius), tilted the balance in Cambridge’s favour. The long hot summer had left the Common in very dry state and the times for both courses have still not been bettered. 25 years ago - 1988 A very strong Dark Blue eight, led by Simon Mugglestone (Hertford) and future Thames captain, Larry Mathews (Merton), had little trouble dispatching their rivals by the wide margin of 21 points. Oxford’s fifth win in a row meant they had now lost just three times in the last 15 years. In the 13th Ladies’ Race, Oxford sneaked a second win in a row by three points. Claire Lavers (Newnham) comfortably took the individual honours; however, it was a pack of four Dark Blues in the next five, headed by the 1987 winner, Vicki Vaughan (Exeter), that proved to be decisive. 50 years ago - 1963 1963 was the twilight year of Light Blue dominance that stretched back to 1956 and had been founded around Mike Turner and his Queens’ College school of cross-country. Having won by wide margins in three of the last four years, Cambridge’s narrow three-point victory gave warning that fortunes were started to turn, which would be borne out by four Oxford wins in the next five years. Future Olympic marathon runner, Tim Johnston (Trinity) was first home to the Big Holly Bush in a swift time of 38 minutes, 18 seconds. 75 years ago - 1938 In the last race before a seven year hiatus, Oxford scored a comfortable 32 points to 46 victory, led home by Peter Marrian (Trinity). He was ably supported by Jack Hawkey (University) and Don Shirreff (Oriel) and with Light Blues filling the last three places, it was never going to be their day. This was the last time the race was held at the hilly Horton Kirby course in Kent. It returned to Oxford and Cambridge for the unofficial wartime races before heading to Roehampton for a final wartime contest in February 1945 and the recommencement of the official series in December 1945. 100 years ago - 1913 A young Cambridge team recorded a surprise 26 points to 29 victory in the last race before the series was interrupted by the Great War. Having lost the last five races by wide margins, and with previous winner George Sproule (Balliol) and American Rhodes Scholar Norman Taber (St. John’s) in the Oxford ranks, few game them a hope. However, by packing their five in the six places behind Sproule and Taber, they were able to secure the honours. Three of the runners went on to lose their lives in the ensuing conflict; however, when the race returned in 1919, the Light Blue captain, Andrew Telfer (Selwyn), was again on the start line, something made all the more remarkable by the fact that he had been seriously wounded in the war and judged unlikely to run again. 125 years ago - 1888 The Dark Blues finally ended a dismal sequence of seven defeats, which stretched back to the second race in 1881, with a victory over their Cowley and Shotover course. They were led home by William Pollock-Hill (Keble), who registered the second of his three victories, and with strong support from the rest of his team, the margin of victory was a comfortable one. For Oxford, the win had been a long time coming and it, “…delighted the hearts of the numerous spectators who assembled at the University Arms.” It set Oxford up for a period of dominance that would last until 1894.
