Triumphs at Bonnie Dundee Dam
Stawell
Amateur Athletic
Club held
the Stephen
Baird 5000m
on Saturday
over the
demanding
Bonnie Dundee
Dam course.
Warm conditions
greeted 30
runners at
the start
of the Sealed
Handicap
with several
in form runners
having a
chance to
win. After
many years
of driving
his daughters
from Horsham
to Stawell
to run each
week, Rhys
Alexander
has decided
to put on
the running
shoes. Having
shown steady
form already,
Rhys notched
up his first
win for the
season from
Adrian Tyler
in second
place with
Mark Pumpa
coming in
third.
Col
Barnett once
again recorded
fastest time
of 18 min 34
sec. Fastest
female was Jacinta
Collier in a
time of 22 min
24 sec.
The
Junior field of 13 runners also competed
over the 5000m course, with Aaron running
a great race to record the fastest time of
21 min 55 sec. This also gave him first place
on handicap, from Alastair in second place
with Lucy coming in third.
In the Sub-Junior race a good field of 13 runners
ran a 2 km out and back course. Sophie ran hard
to scored a great win from Hannah, with Liam
third. What a great sight it was to see this
young group of athletes running around the Ironbarks
on a Saturday afternoon.
