16/01/2011
Braintree & District Athletic Club's Chloe Beckett had a busy and successful weekend competing in cross country and indoor track events.
On Saturday, 16 year old Chloe came 5th in the Senior Girls Essex Cross Country Championships in Hylands Park, Chelmsford.
This great performance, in muddy and windy conditions, qualified her to run for Essex in the Junior National Championships.
On Sunday, she went to Lea Valley to run in the Indoor U20 South East England Championships 1500m race.
Despite being on the younger end of this age category, Chloe came 4th overall.
Her time of 4m 59.18s, a PB by over 18 seconds, fulfilled her ambition to break the 5 minute barrier, and was just reward for her conscientious training.
