ALEX Miell-Ingram made it two out of two with a comfortable victory in the second round of the Mota-vation Race Series at Bletchingdon.

The Radley AC runner, who won the first round at Charlton-on-Otmoor, completed the course in 22mins 39secs – 48 seconds ahead of Banbury’s Gregor Keeling.

On a muggy night Miell-Ingram and Kelling were neck and neck after the first kilometre, but the Radley runner then pulled away from the field.

Les Newell finished strongly to come third – the first V40 man home.

Oxford City’s Julian Richardson (V50) and John Exley (V70) won their age group categories.

Headington’s Diane Foster cruised to victory in the ladies’ race, coming 34th in 25.42.

She beat fellow LV35 runner Sophie Carter (Woodstock) by a full minute, with senior ladies winner Lauren Hawtin (Oxford City) a further 30 seconds adrift as third lady home.

Other ladies’ category winners were Abingdon’s Chloe Ridewood (U19), Alchester’s Sarah Rendell (LV45), Banbury’s Ros Kelling (LV55) and Eynsham’s Kate Williamson (LV65).

Abingdon and Headington both consolidated their leads in the men’s and ladies’ teams standings respectively.

The next race is at Combe on June 28 (7.30pm).
