WITNEY'S juniors got the better of the club’s senior members when they laid down the challenge of a marathon relay at Radley College.

Faced with 105 laps of a running track, broken down into 100m sprints and 420 baton changes, the lead changed many times, but never extended by more than 300m either way.

The juniors closed the gap with six laps to go and surged ahead to win by 40 seconds in a record time of 2hrs 8mins 24secs.
