JONATHAN Cornish continued his fine form to win the fourth round of the Oxford Mail Cross Country League with a dominant display at Cirencester Park.

The White Horse Harrier finished 43 seconds ahead of Newbury’s Alex Muir, winning in 34mins 17secs.

It sees Cornish lead the senior men’s individual standings by 11 points, with a real chance of clinching the overall title in the final round at Harwell on March 6.

Abingdon’s Paul Fernandez heads the Vet 40 standings after finishing third overall, while Oxford City duo Aaron Burgess and Les Newell crossed fourth and fifth respectively.

It turned out to be a good day for City, who won the team event, as Tegid Jones finished seventh, while John Atyeo, Ben Upjohn and Ryan Meredith all came in the top 20.

City now hold a 579-point lead over Newbury ahead of Harwell.

Under 20 leader Alex Miell-Ingram, of Radley, crossed in 17th.

In the women’s event, the race is on for the veteran 35 title as Woodstock Harriers’ Rachel Masser leads Jessica Franklin (Newbury) by a point.

Masser pipped Franklin by three seconds to top her age group at Cirencester, crossing in fifth overall.

Newbury’s Sophie Crumly won the race, extending her advantage over Jessica Webb (Woodstock) and Hannah Hale (Eynsham), who finished second and third respectively.

Sarah Rendell, of Alchester, Witney’s Frankie Snare and Rosie Weston (Banbury) were all in the top ten.

Meanwhile, Bicester’s Ben West maintained his strong cross country form to extend his advantage at the top of the under 15 standings.

West came second in the combined under 17 and 15 race, finishing 14 seconds behind winner Will Crisp, of Swindon Harriers.

Teammate Max Nicolle secured his maiden victory in the under 13 race contested over a 2,000 metre course.

He stopped the clock at 8.42, which gave him a winning margin of eight seconds over Radley’s Rowan Miell-Ingram, helping Bicester win the team prize.

In the under 11 race, Oxford’s Henry Channon edged Quinn Miell-Ingram, of Radley, by just two seconds, maintaining his lead in the standings.

Jenny Hannah (Banbury) has opened up a four-point gap over Jamie Garry, of Oxford, in the under 15 standings.

Hannah took victory in the under 17/15 race from White Horse Harrier Lucy Rycroft and Radley’s Flora Insley, while Garry came fourth.

Insley helped Radley keep the pressure on Abingdon by winning the team prize by two points.

Oxford’s Alexandra Scrivener denied Bicester’s Millie Couzens victory in the under 13 race.

And City duo Clover De Jong and Olivia Martin starred in the under 11 event, taking second and third.

Oscar Oweka, of Witney, continued his fine form in the under 9 girls and boys race to clinch victory and keep his place at the top of the standings.
