Last Saturday, Michelle won the 33rd annual Blues Varsity Match, a cross country dual meet between Oxford and Cambridge universities at Wimbeldon Common. (Yes, those Oxford and Cambridge universities. Michelle is studying at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar.)
Michelle won the women’s race by 3 seconds in 24:36, and led the Oxford team to a 15-24 victory over Cambridge. Results of this year’s meet are here.
Michelle’s race was part of a cross country tradition dating to 1880 at Oxford. For a history of the Blues Varsity Match, go here. To learn more about the Oxford University Cross Country Club (which played an integral in creating the sport), read this.
