Jess Gibbon made club history by being the first Reading AC winner of the women’s senior title in the SEAA cross country championships at Parliament Hill yesterday. She had a clear 20s lead by the finish, as she lead the field of almost 700 runners home.

The U20W team who struck silver were lead home by Georgia Hayes in 4th despite a fall, Kirsty Walker finishing strong in 7th, Abi Hancock in 33rd and Herminie Walker in 50th. Every place counted as they were only 1 point ahead of 3rd place Shaftesbury Barnet.

The club had a great turnout across all the races, with 7th places for the U15G and U17W teams and 9th place for the Senior Women’s team.
