Britton looks to finally go the distance and realise Euro dream
The Wicklow athlete won a silver medal in the U23 race at the European championships in Milan in 2006 and, since then, while her transition to senior ranks was promising, she has failed to get a medal at this level.
Last year she was denied bronze on the line by Turkish woman Uslu Binnaz, and last weekend, in the Cross de Lacier in France, she had Binnaz behind her when finishing third in a race dominated by the Africans. A couple of weeks earlier in Burgos, Spain, she was also first European over the line when sixth behind Kenya’s Linet Masai.
