City of Norwich Athletic Club locked out the podium in both the senior men's and women's races at the Norfolk Cross Country Championships held at The Charles Burrell Centre in Thetford.

Logan Smith was in a class of his own in taking victory in the men's race, completing the 10.6km course in 34:38 ahead of CoNAC team-mates Piers Arnold in 35:51 and Ben Spratling in 36:36.

Smith, 20, has been tipped for a big future in the sport and is looking forward to now targeting the Armagh 5K International Road Race next month.

'I'm happy to get the win, that's what I came here for,' said the former Reepham High School student. 'I had two races in mind after Christmas, the county champs being one of them and then the Armagh International 5K in February.

'It will be nice to get some international experience with a world class field there. But this is nice to see where I'm at with the winter training, it was just a good tester and I'm really happy with the result.'

In the senior women's race, CoNAC's Iona Lake followed up her victory at the Wymondham 10K on New Year's Day by cruising to another win as she completed the 6.4km women's course in 24:23. Club-mate Dani Nimmock was second, just under a minute behind in 25:16, as she prepares for another marathon in the spring whilst Isabel Rodriguez was third in 25:53.

Lake is pleased with her form going into 2019 as she looks to build on last year when she competed in the Commonwealth Games. She hopes to make strides in the 3,000m steeplechase once again whilst improving her flat speed in the 5K.

'I'm building my training up over the winter and I've put in some more weight training over Christmas,' said the 25-year-old, from Hainford. 'Last winter, because of the Commonwealths, I didn't have time to build that up.

'But I'm focused on that and I think it's paying off. I've reduced my mileage and I'm just trying to get stronger ready for the summer and the steeplechase again. I would also really like to go sub 16-minutes for 5K but we will see how it goes.'
