JESSICA Webb made a strong start to her Oxford Mail Cross Country League campaign with a third-placed finish in the opening round.

The Woodstock Harrier, who finished runner-up in the 2015-16 senior competition, completed the 6,500m women’s race in 25mins 37 secs at Newbury Showground.

She was second in her age category, with Newbury’s under 20 runner Isobel Fry claiming victory.

Abingdon’s Chloe Ridewood was the second under 20 home in seventh overall, while Emma Huepfl, of Radley, and Rachel Masser, of Woodstock, topped the vet 35 and 45 groups respectively.

In the men’s race, Jack Shayler impressed, finishing third and top under 20.

He completed the three-lap 8,500m course in 31.12, behind winner Thomas Watkins and second-placed Alex Muir, who both run for Newbury.

Oxford City’s Simon Fisher was fourth, while Radley’s Alex Miell-Ingram crossed as the second under 20 runner in seventh overall.

Woodstock’s James Bolton came ninth and top vet 40, with Eynsham’s Robert Storey the first vet 50 in 27th.

Banbury’s Alex Scrivener dominated the combined under 15/17 girls’ race, winning by 40 seconds.

The under 15 runner beat Radley’s Rachel Burton, who topped the older age group.

In the boys’ equivalent, Abingdon’s under 17 runner Adam Ede claimed victory by six seconds over Radley’s younger age group athlete Benjamin Cumberland.

There was a City double in the under 13 events as Olivia Martin won the girls race, with Henry Channon victorious in the boys.

Isabelle Martin beat Oxford clubmate Isabella Haines-Gray by four seconds to triumph in the girls under 11 competition.

Witney’s Oscar Oweka enjoyed the same margin of victory over teammate William Shayler in the boys event.
