Innes Fitzgerald, a Year 11 student from Axe Valley Academy, produced a superhuman performance at the Schools International Athletics Board - Cross Country International in Carmarthen on Saturday.

She finished in 14.41 (4000m) an amazing 27secs in front of the next runner. What a fantastic competitor she is. An inspiration to us all. We are very proud to have her as member of the Axe Valley Academy community.

The Schools International Athletic Board (SIAB) consists of representatives from the Schools' Athletic Associations of England, Scotland, Wales and All Ireland. The SIAB hosts a very small number of competitions annually for elite junior athletes. The English Schools' Athletic Association (ESAA) hosts three major competitions a year for athletes under 15, under 17 and under 19 years of age.
