BICESTER youngster Ben West maintained his 100 per cent winning record in securing victory at RAL Harwell.

The teenager has yet to be beaten by an Oxfordshire athlete during the winter season and held off the challenge of Abingdon’s Jack Shayler to clinch the under 15/17 race by nine seconds.

With just one round to go at Hill End Centre, Cumnor, on Sunday, March 5, West leads the under 17 standings by two points, with athletes needing to complete three races by the end of the series to be in contention.

Banbury’s Skip Snelson was the first under 15 runner home in third overall, maintaining his lead in the age group rankings.

Ben Cole, of Swindon Harriers, won the senior men’s race, ahead of Oxford City duo Dan Blake and William Gardner.

However, the series leaders are Banbury’s Tim Wright and James Craggs, of Newbury, who finished sixth and seventh respectively, with just a second separating them.

Radley’s Alex Miell-Ingram stretched his lead in the under 20 standings to 31 points, after topping his age category in crossing tenth overall.

Meanwhile, the race for the men’s Division 2 team title has a west Oxfordshire taste as Witney lead Eynsham and Woodstock Harriers.

Radley continued their dominance in the under 13 boys division, extending their lead to 48 points.

Rowan Miell-Ingram took victory, with teammates William D’Arcy and Roan Stillion third and seventh respectively.

Radley’s Quinn Miell-Ingram won the under 11 race for a third successive round to stay at the top of the individual standings.

In the senior women’s race, Hannah Hale, of Eynsham, took second as Newbury’s Sophie Crumly triumphed by 49 seconds.

Hale’s performances have helped the west Oxfordshire club stay in contention for the women’s Division 2 title, but they are 59 points behind leaders Oxford City.

Fiona Bunn, of Abingdon, was the first under 20 finisher in fifth overall and is only a point behind series leader Yasmin Ryder, whom she beat by seven seconds at Harwell.

Abingdon top the girls under 15/17 rankings, after Beth Darwent led their challenge with a third-place finish.

Millie Couzens, of Bicester, dominated the under 13 girls race, crossing in 9mins 26secs.
