TALENTED Warrington athlete Harriet Knowles-Jones has qualified for Great Britain’s team to compete in the under 20s European Cross Country Championship.

She secured her spot in the line-up to compete in Sardinia next month by finishing second in the 4.4km Liverpool Cross Challenge in the city’s Sefton Park on Saturday.

Knowles-Jones competed at the championships last year and will be hoping to go one better than her silver medal.

In the Under 13 boys category, Warrington Athletic Club’s Rhys Hopkins came a creditable 103rd in 12mins 43secs, while Isaaq Ataullah (74th) and Joel Birchall (102nd) gave strong performances for the Under-15 boys.
