MOORFOOT runner Elena McGorum was all smiles after her age group win at the Borders Winter Cross Country series.

She finished first in the 10-11 Girls category in four out of the seven junior races to secure the series title.

The Borders XC series consisted of seven, all very muddy, races and the runners had to take part in at least four of them to qualify.

Elena, who is coached by Gregor Nicholson, ran four out of the seven junior races at Galashiels, Peebles, Chirnside and Dunbar.
