The Combined SIAB (Schools international Athletics Board) and Home Countries Cross Country International took place at the picturesque Wollaton Park Estate on Saturday 24th March. Dry weather conditions and a relatively firm course made for competitive racing at the estate, situated on the outskirts of Nottingham.
It was the Junior Girls (U15) who got the programme underway with Samia Jones (Syr Huw Owen) running with the form she has shown throughout the season into this race and can be proud of her 5th placing when crossing the finish line.
