Career summary

  • Charlotte is an exceptional junior endurance athletes who has shown promise over both cross country and track. At the end of 2006 she came third in the trial race but, at 15, was too young to take her place in the European Junior cross country team.

  • At the end of 2007 she won the junior race at the Trials in November despite stopping to try replace her shoe half way through and having to discard it.

  • At the European Cross Country Championships she and took the individual bronze and team gold.

  • Charlotte has also previously studied drama and ballet and – despite her cross country pedigree - her pet hate is running in freezing cold conditions!
