Eight Colchester athletes represented Essex in the Inter Counties Cross-Country Championships at Stowe, Buckinghamshire.

And all of them performed brilliantly. Essex dominated the team events and, out of eight races, they won five gold, two silver and a bronze medal.

"And much of that is down to the athletes' hard work, guided by the dedicated coaches in the county and the support of their parents."
