James Baker completed a unique treble when he stormed to his third victory in three in the Chichester Corporate Challenge.
The 32-year-old Chichester Runners ace is the first person to win all three races in one year in the 18-year history of the event.
Baker has twice won the first two races only to be beaten in the third - most recently last year when GB Commonwealth medallist Michael East stole his thunder in the final race.
This time no-one came close to robbing him of his slice of history as he romped home in the city centre race with plenty to spare.

Once again, 600-plus runners took part in a total of six races, starting with the event for primary schoolboys to the B race for those not quite in the same league as the elite field.
Plenty of competitorrs from across the south joined Chichester-area runners in the final races of the series, declared a big success by chief organiser Phil Baker.
We'll have full coverage, including a round-up of which individuals and teams won the series in each category, in the Observer next Thursday.
