20th February
Scottish Champs: Callendar Park, Falkirk
Chester-le-street's senior women dominated the front of the race with four finishing in the top nine. Unsurprisinginly, Freya Murray (running for home club Edinburgh) blasted round the frozen, hilly 8km course to win with considerable ease and claim her fourth National title in 27:41. Emma Raven, also representing her home club, Central AC, outsprinted fellow NE athlete Rosie Smith to take the silver medal in a time of 29:25. Next home in 6th place with 30:04 was Aly Dixon who is currently in tough marathon training. Aly was closely followed home by Maxine Czarnecha in 9th spot with 30:16. Althought the Chester quartet would have easily won the team title, only Scottish clubs are eligible and as such, Freya and Emma's teams battled it out for silver and bronze respectivley.
