Many of you will not know that while we were running in St Albans, 6 of our under 13 girls were taking part in the national final of the English Schools Cup. This is a team event and St Albans Girls school junior had qualified for the final in Rugby.
They were rewarded by aiming high and came away with a national bronze medal.
The team was Tabitha Weddell, Alex Bentley, Georgia Robin, Jess Barnes, Lucy Day, Susie Williams.
