JUST champion -- that's Wendy Bennett from Worcester Athletic Club's race walking section!

She hot-footed her way to success in the UK 20K Championships which were held in conjuction with the International Grand Prix at Victoria Park in Leamington.

Wendy finished second in the Grand Prix race behind Mexico's Yvonne Cassin and also won her first UK Championship title in a personal best time of 104.30 in the senior ladies category.

It knocked three and a half minutes off her best.

She said: "I beat two people I hadn't beaten before and I got a per-sonal best time as well."

Worcester's Holly Bradford won a bronze medal in the under 17 5K National Younger Age Group Championships.
