THE Holt pupil Abigail Baines was top of the class in the Reading and District Schools Cross Country League.

She won all four rounds of the Years 9 and 10 event, including the final held at The Piggott in Wargrave, proving just too good for her main rival, Naomi Harris from Highdown.

School-mate Lara Croft finished fifth and that meant the Wokingham girls finished with a total score of 141 points, leaving them equal first with the Piggott.

League organiser Brian Day commented: “I would like to pass on my thanks to all the athletes and staff involved in the competition.

“It proved a successful event and I hope this will encourage either teams or individuals to enter the Berkshire Schools Cross Country Championships which are being held at the Newbury Showground on Saturday, January 20.”
