Christian Von Eitzen completed a hat-trick of wins at the Vale of White Horse Schools’ Cross Country Championships at Radley College.

Winner of the under 15 boys’ race for the last two years, the 15-year-old, from European School, Culham, took the under 17 race in runaway fashion, beating 2011 winner Ben Upjohn (Matthew Arnold, Oxford).

He will now bid for a hat-trick of Oxfordshire Schools’ titles back at Radley College on Tuesday.

With Abingdon School not competing, it opened it up for other schools, and Sam Marshall led home a one-two for King Alfred’s Community & Sports College from Mitchell Lomas in the under 19 boys’ race.

The Wantage school repeated the feat at under 15, with Ben Claridge beating Charlie Harrison.

Faringdon’s William Crisp denied King Alfred’s a treble with victory over Don Stokell at under 13.

St Helen & St Katharine, Abingdon, provided three of the girls’ winners.

Cordelia Parker, runner-up at under 17 for the last two years, made it third time lucky by taking the under 19 race from teammate Lorel Scriven.

There was also a one-two for St Helen & St Katharine in the under 15 race, with Fiona Bunn crossing the line ahead of last year’s under 13 winner, Flora Insley.

And Sasha Hargreaves made it a treble on the day for the Abingdon school with victory in the under 13 race.

Sophie Lloyd (King Alfred’s), third in the under 17 race last year, went two places better this time, winning impressively from Rebecca James (Our Lady’s, Abingdon).
