European Athletics is pleased to announce that Portugal’s Jessica Augusto and Ruggero Pertile of Italy have been voted as the European Athletes of the Month for November.
Portugal’s Jessica Augusto was in sublime form in November and dominated the women’s race at the 29th edition of the famous Crosse de Torres Vedras event, near Lisbon, from the early stages and won comfortably.
Augusto has been a stalwart of Portuguese teams for many years and the latest in her long list of achievements is the women’s title at the 2010 SPAR European Cross Country Championships in front of her home crowd in Albufeira earlier this month.
Despite only being 29, she has now competed in 11 editions of the SPAR European Cross Country Championships, having also won as a junior in 2000 and finishing second in Brussels two years ago.
