Bolton athlete Kirsty Milner helped England to victory on her first appearance for her country.
The Blackrod middle distance runner finished a fourth as the under-20s junior women’s team won the Lotto Cross Country Cup in Belgium.
The Loughborough University student earned her international call-up after a string of impressive performances and results in domestic races.
She is currently ranked fifth in the UK for 5K in the under-20 age group, and her success in Belgium is likely to earn her another place in the England team at the European Cross Country Championships in Brussels on December 14.
