     Oswestry Olympian junior athletes travelled to Bridgnorth to compete in the Shropshire AA Cross Country Championships.
    Although the turn out in the younger age groups was disappointingly low, club athletes put in some excellent performances over a tough, undulating course where the distances were further than usual for some of the age groups.

    Four Olympian athletes put in top class performances to win on the day and become county champions. Under 13 Joe Morris and Under 17 Josh Ogden who had both won their age groups in the recent Shropshire Young Athletes League series, maintained their winning form with comfortable victories at Bridgnorth to book their places on the coach to Nottingham.
    Olympians Under 20 duo of Alison Lavender and Olli Blake, now both studying at Loughborough University, had a triumphant return to Shropshire with winning performances in the Junior Women and Junior Men's age groups.
