THE TAVISTOCK Athletic Club's 'athlete of the month' is Jane Carroll. Jane has had a successful summer's racing.

In August, she achieved three personal bests, improving on her previous times at Cornwood Challenge 10k, Saltram 5k and then improved on her PB at Torbay Regatta 10k. The following month, at Bristol, she gained a PB over the half marathon distance.

On presenting Jane with her award, Keith Bowles, the club's treasurer, said that Jane always tries 110 per cent in all her races and has made huge improvement in her running since joining the club – and is a very worthy winner of the club's award.
