Hastings Steeplechase

This Annual event held at the Hastings Showgrounds attracted runners from Napier, Hastings and a couple from Palmerston North. The Boys 12 and under race (1.5k) was once gain dominated by brothers Bradley and Thomas Christison and Toby Hall, all from Napier Harriers while the girls race featured a terrific run by Georgia Creagh, Napier, who won by over a minute and was 3rd overall in the boys and girls combined race. Another stand out performance came from an improved Monica Burnard, Hastings Harriers United, in the girls 16 and under grade (3k) followed by a sprint finish for 2nd by Annie Creagh, Napier, and Anneke Smith, Hastings, with both being credited with the same time. Devon Beckman turned the tables on Shamus Christison, both Napier Harriers, in the boys 14 and under grade (3k) to fill 1st and 2nd followed by Sean Morrison of Hastings. In the next grade up Jake Tully and Toa Elphick-Iaveta, both Napier Harriers, had close tussle with Jake holding off Toa in a sprint for the line. A great run by Sam Blanche from Palmerston North decimated the senior women's race (4.5k) by close on 2minutes with the ladies masters being led home by Andrea Williams from Hastings. Eric Speakman, Napier, was equally dominating in the senior mens race (6k) and won by just under 3min from Mark Serle, Palmerston and William Kelsey, Napier. The masters men's was won by Eric Phimister, Napier Harriers. report by Wayne Smith
