Plymouth College pupils, Emily Ackford and Poppy Tank, have clinched first and second place in the Devon County Cross Country Championships.
Both girls ran in the U15 race over a 4km challenging course. Emily finished in a time of 14.25 to take the Devon Champion title while Poppy was 8 seconds behind in the runners-up spot.
The girls also won a team gold and will represent Devon in the South West Inter-counties Cross Country in January. They will then take part in the National Inter-counties Championships in Birmingham in March.
