Hannah England, of Oxford City AC, triumphed in the girls' under 15 race of the second Reebok Cross Country Challenge in Birmingham .

A strong field struggled over the hilly course in Senneleys Park, with Jo Harper of Cannock and Stafford taking an early lead.

But England steadily closed the gap on the leaders during the middle of the race, and outsprinted Harper, and rival Becky Ellis of Vale Royal, to finish well clear of the field.

Following her fourth place in the Liverpool leg of the Challenge, Hannah England now leads the girls' under 15 section.
