FIONA Bunn produced a fine performance to finish 27th in the under 20 women’s race at the English National Cross Country Championships in Nottingham.

Despite an injury-interrupted winter, the Abingdon runner battled through the mud to put in a strong display to cross in 25mins 15 secs.

Clubmate Jack Shayler continued his good form when finishing sixth and first junior at the Goring 10k.

Abingdon’s Jon Darwent was the first veteran 45 in 12th overall.

Meanwhile, Steve Pomeroy, also of Abingdon, won the veteran 50 Throws Triathlon at the Swindon Winter Throws Invitational with a personal best.
