HALE Primary School’s star runner Robert Jones, pictured, is the champion of Wiltshire after winning the cross country championships at the University of Bath.

Robert’s fine run in the under 11s on Sunday held off a strong battle from Cathedral School’s Jude Murray, who was the runner-up.

Furthermore, Sam Butt, from Trafalgar School, moved up a level to the under 13s where he took an excellent bronze.

Also making their racing debuts at county level were Jasmine Griscti and Bella Smith from Trafalgar School, Josh Ware, Bishop Wordsworth’s School, and Lilly Jones, Hale School.
