English smashes course record in style

UNA ENGLISH smashed the course record in last weekend’s Luzem Stadlauf Road Race in Switzerland just a week after she finished second in Corrida d’Heillecourt in France as she continued to build on her fine run in the world cross-country championships.

In Switzerland she won the 4.2k race in 12mins 50.5secs eight seconds faster than the course record set by the former world 10,000m champion Sally Barsosio of Kenya.

She finished four seconds clear of Helena Javornk of Slovenia (12:54.6), with Analia Rosa of Portugal third in 13:04.5, the double world cross-country champion, Edith Masai of Kenya, fourth (13:14.2) and another Kenyan Susan Kurui was fifth in 13:23.4.
