ABINGDON'S senior and veteran women's team is celebrating after winning the Oxfordshire Cross Country Championships at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire.
Combined with the Bucks and Bedfordshire Championships, due to the cancellation of the third round of the Oxford Mail Cross Country League, the vale club clocked an overall time of 1hr 45mins 20secs.
The team was led home by Cordelia Parker in third, Sarah Dudgeon fourth and Lucy Shelton 12th.
Abingdon's under 15 girls and boys teams also won their age groups.
Beth Darwent starred for the girls in second and Adam Ede won the male event.
In the senior men's race, White Horse Harrier Jonathan Cornish, running for first-claim club Wimbledon Hercules, took second.
Radley dominated the under 13 boys category, winning the team prize, with Benjamin Cumberland victorious in front of clubmates Rowan Miell-Ingram, Thomas Kent and Joshua Cumberland, who crossed second, third and fourth respectively.
Alex Miell-Ingram cinched silver in the under 20 event.
JACK Shayler, of Abingdon, continued his good form when winning the Woodcote 10k by more than a minute.
