LEIGH Harriers' Thomas Boardman and Adele Swanton won bronze medals in the Greater Manchester Cross-Country Championships.

And Adele led the U15s girls team to gold.

Leigh's golden girls of Swanton, Lizzy Heaton, Amanda Fearnley, Laura Morris and Amy Woods have been in top form all season.

They won the Greater Manchester Road Relay title at Birchwood in September; the South East Lancashire Cross-Country League and were third in the NW Women's Cross-Country League.

Swanton has had an outstanding season, winning both South East Lancs and NW Women's League titles.

Boardman, who is rapidly developing into a top class cross-country runner, was second in the South East Lancs Cross-Country League.

But his bronze in the GM Championships is an outstanding achievement for a first year U15s.
