Jo raced at Heckington show, which hosted the womens National Grass Track 800m Championships, plus other womens only races. In the National 800m, 2 and a bit laps with a block head wind on the back straight and a fast tail wind finish, Jo rode a tactically astute race from the front. Keeping the pace steady and policing everyone, she managed to keep former champion Sara Boyd (ne Wheelan) on the hip. In the final straight she jumped as hard as she could to take the championship with Melissa Bury taking 2nd and Sara Boyd slipping back to 4th.

Jo also won the womens Mile. This was 5 laps of the circuit and with no-one wanting to take up the pace setting with the heavy going into the headwind, Jo attacked with a lap and a half to go and won by a clear straight.
Well done Jo, a very deserving champion :)
