Home Countries Schools International
Glasgow
21 July 2002

Lincoln Wellington’s Rachael Nathan made it a hat-trick of impressive wins in the last three weeks when she came home unchallenged in the home countries Schools International race at Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow on Saturday. Competing once again over 3000 metres her winning time of 9 minutes 31.9 seconds was comfortably a season’s best and was just two tenths of a second away from her personal best. In view of the inclement weather conditions she changed her normal front running tactics and sat in behind the number one Scottish athlete for almost five laps. A 74 second lap from the Lincoln youngster then proved too hot for her rivals to handle and maintaining a very strong pace for the remainder of the race she crossed the line about eighty metres clear of her nearest pursuer.

After three races in quick succession she will now have a short break from competition before she attempts to win the AAA’s under 17 women’s 3000 metres title at Birmingham in the middle of August.
