JACKSON ENDS IMPRESSIVE SEASON WITH INTERNATIONAL VEST
On the day that gale force winds greeted just over 2000 school children from
various counties all over the country, City of Stoke’s Emma Jackson
produced the club's best performance of the day when placing 7th in the
Junior Girls race. Competing for Staffordshire Jackson lead her County home
in the race where the first 8 gained selection into the England team. (Check
out the Schools International Race Report)
The Alan Morris coached athlete Jackson
topped off a highly impressive winter which has seen her place 3rd
in the Birmingham Reebok Challenge, 10th in the Inter-counties
and 13th in the National, all whilst still a first year in the
U15 age group.
During the race itself, behind the runner
away leader Emily Pidgeon of Gloucestershire the battle for the minor medals
and team selection was intense. In the end Jackson produced the best
performance of her career and after a determined approach throughout the
race was rewarded with 7th place, just 12 seconds shy of a medal.
