JAMES Bolton clinched the Motavation Series Vet 40 title after finishing fourth overall in the final race in Oxford.

The Woodstock Harrier was four seconds behind closest rival Paul Fernandez, of Abingdon AC, but did enough to win his age group.

Steve Naylor, who lives in Witney, but runs for Bedford & County, made it three successive victories by winning the final round by 50 seconds from men’s champion Kieran White (Wimbledon Hercules).

However, having only competed in three races, he did not qualify for the series.

Headington’s Andy Phelps (V50), Kidlington’s Michael Collins (V70) and Vale of Aylesbury duo Conor Richardson (U19) and Paul Gregory (V60) were also victors.

Woodstock’s Sophie Carter, who runs for Belgrave Harriers, is the ladies champion, after finishing as the top woman and V35 in Oxford.

Jessica Webb, of Woodstock, despite not competing in the final round, won the senior ladies event.

Helene Greenwood, of Kidlington (U19), Allison Hurst (V45), Oxford City’s Gwyneth Hueter (V55) and Eynsham’s Kate Williamson (V65) are all series winners.

Oxford City and Headington Road Runners retained their men’s and ladies’ titles.
