Congratulations to Lily Farr, who finished an excellent 21st in the Inter Girls race at the English Schools Cross Country Championships last weekend.
Lily was boxed in the stampede of 343 runners at the start and found it difficult to negotiate the phalanx of runners spread across the course in front of her. As space eventually began to open up, she worked her way through the field from 75th place to finish an outstanding 21st - only 10 seconds behind 10th place and an international vest.
Theo Beale also enjoyed a good run to finish 88th in a field of 329 runners. Congratulations to all the Bedford and County athletes who took part.
