The Under 15 Girl's National Cross-Country Championships took place at Wigmore Valley Park, Luton. This was the first joint male and female event in National Cross-Country history. The course was 3,600m in length.
Jackie Hogan (Scarborough Ryedale Harriers) made a last-gasp dive across the line to snatch victory from defending champion Jodie Swallow (Brentwood AC). Swallow and Jeanette Shortall (Liverpool Harriers) had done much of the early running with Shortall leading by 5 metres with half a mile to run. Swallow finished strongly but not as quickly as Hogan. As Shortall faded Clare Campbell (Stevenage & North Herts AC) was able to take third spot.
