Stan's
Stunners Triumphant
Ten teams of five runners each competed in the
Stawell Gold Mines 1.5km Relays on Saturday,
with ages ranging from 6 years to 62 years. Conditions
were dry on the Ironbark course for the first
time in 3 weeks, a welcome change.
Dugdale's
Destroyers started with their number one
runner, Jon Dugdale, to take out an early
lead just ahead of Kel Tyler from
Steggall's Super Specials. Patrick
Ellis from Pumpa's Pumpers came through
in third position. Stan's Stunners
were quietly sneaking along with Lucy finishing
mid field.

At
the second
and third
change Ray's
Ramblers
were in the
lead, but
later relinquished
it on the
fourth leg
to Howden's
Hurricanes,
who seemed
to be the
team to beat.
But
Stan's
Stunners Sub-Junior
runner
Tobias put in a
great leg
along with
Lucy, Jannik,
John Collins
and Team
Captain
Stan Watson to
score a narrow
victory from
Howden's
Hurricanes,
with Steggall's
Super Specials
coming in
third. All
three teams
finished
within 28
seconds,
a great effort
on the part
of our handicapper.
Fastest
leg of the day went to Col Barnett, with
a time of 4 min 49 sec. The fastest female
was Jacinta Collier in 5 min 25 sec.
Aaron
was the fastest Junior in a time of 5 min
35 sec, and Lucy the fastest Junior girl
in 5 min 58 sec.
