Lydia Turner (Y11) has had a very successful season in Cross Country running. After a steady season last year where she was placing in the top 20 in England. This season has shown a real step up in her performances. She came 5th in the English Schools Cross Country Championships in Birmingham at the beginning of the month. This meant she qualified as one of 8 to represent England in the Schools Home Nations Cross Country event in Wales. This event was held along side the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, which meant Lydia was mingling with the elite performers in this field. The weather was cold, with snow on the ground and the course quite muddy - perfect cross country conditions!!! Lydia said that she couldn't believe the performance she had to gain her bronze medal, as she improved her position even from the qualifiers. She said that she just felt 'really good during the whole race'. What a fantastic achievement. Well Done!
