Stawell Amateur Athletic
Club teenager Karl Scott held off a late charge
by father Ray to score his third win for the season,
when he took out the Lois Trimble Handicap last
Saturday.
Twenty-three senior runners
lined up in very warm conditions for the testing
5000m course
over Stawell’s
Big Hill.
Carolyn Lehmann led the
field away, and ran extremely well to still have
a 20 second
lead with 600m
to go. However, short distance specialist Karl
Scott
reeled her in up the final climb before the
finish, then went on to win by 8 seconds from father
Ray. John Kelly got up for third with Lehmann
relegated
to fourth.
Steve Page ran the fastest
race time of 16 minutes 35sec, with Susie Ellis
the best
female
in 21
minutes 11sec.

The junior runners also
tackled the 5000m course. Nathan Watson, running
from the
back
of the
field, worked his way to the front with
800m to go,
and went on to win, posting the fastest
junior time
of 21 minutes 58sec. Emma Kelly was second
with the fastest girls time of 24 minutes
52sec. Emily
Parnaby was third.
The sub-juniors tackled
a 1500m out and back course, with Mackenzie Ellis
running
well
to come home
first. Georgia Barnett was second and
Elly Atherton third.
Liam Scott ran the fastest
sub-junior time of 4 minutes 34sec. Elly Barnett
was the
best sub-junior
girl in 5 minutes 6sec.
