University of Bath student Jenny Nesbitt made a winning debut over the half-marathon distance when she was first woman home in the Vitality Reading Half-Marathon on Sunday.
The Trendell Sports Scholar, who is in the first year of a Sports & Social Science course, was all smiles as she crossed the line in 1:12:54 – the second-fastest half-marathon by a British woman this year.
