JOE Buckley is once again climbing the UK rankings for his age group.

His performance at Sunday’s Cheshire 10km road race allowed him to move up to 11th in the country for under 20s runners over the distance.

The Warrington Athletics Club youngster came home 37th overall after an excellent run in Northwich, posting a time of 31mins 52secs – the third-fastest time by an under 20s athlete.

It means he improved his 10km time from his last race in September during which he clocked 32mins 5secs.
