Luke Jacobs' progress this year has been recognised with victory in the Easy Runner athlete of the month competition for October.

"I have been nominated quite a few times, so it is great to win it at last," said Jacobs.

Jacobs impressed the judges after a superb anchor leg for Bristol & West AC Under-15s at the National Young Athletes' Road Relays in Birmingham and he also finished third at the Birmingham Cross-Challenge.

He continued his good form this week by winning the inter boys' race at the North Somerset Schools' Championships.
