BEN RUSIUS was the winning junior boy in the North Yorkshire Schools Cross Country Championship on Saturday.

The Rusius family run for Pendle Athletic Club, but are eligible because they go to school over the border.

At Airedale Park in Skipton, Jamie was second in the intermediate boys race while Chris was eighth senior boy.

All three brothers have qualified to run for the county for the regional match against Humberside and Notts at Beverley on February 2.

Ben and Jamie have also made the team for the English Schools Championships, while Chris is hoping to cement his place with a strong run at Beverley.
