Sarah Astin produced another superb performance to win the senior women’s bronze medal in the English National Cross-Country Championships at Parliament Hill, London on Saturday.
She was never outside the top three throughout the eight-kilometre race in which there were 865 finishers. Sarah also led the Manx Harriers women’s team to a magnificent seventh place finish in the team event, which 93 clubs finished. The other three counters were Rachael Franklin (16th), Gail Griffiths (151st) and Karen Shimmin (165th). Full report in this week’s Manx Independent.
