A GUISBOROUGH school is celebrating a day of unprecedented cross country success after seven of its pupils qualified to compete at the national schools' championships.
Laurence Jackson school had 11 runners in the Cleveland team which took part in the northern counties championships at Kirby Stephen last Saturday.
The seven who won through to the national championships at Chelmsford on March 10 were Debbie Hastings-Long (fourth for Cleveland in the junior girls race), Angharad Owen and Laura McPherson (fourth and sixth in the intermediate girls), James Minter and Scott Dixon (second and third in the junior boys) and Chris Burdett and Steven Pogue (second and eighth in the intermediate boys).
A spokesman for the school said: "Occasionally we have had one or two runners competing at this level, but no-one can remember a year when so many excelled.
