Napier Harrier Club Cross Country Champs
|
Lyon's Farm, Maraekakaho Road, Hastings |
| 25 June, 2011 |
|
Both Napier and Hastings clubs also held their respective club cross country races in conjunction with the Centre event. In the senior men's event over 12k Hastings runner Neville Smith ran a modest time of 48m32s but still had to work hard to beat Napier's Eric Speakman who did 48m58s. The slow times were a result of Neville being affected by a cold and Eric making his way back into fitness after injuries earlier in the year. Megan Grant from Gisborne took out the centre title in the women's event running 8k also in a modest time of 42m41s [although she was well beaten by Napier's Rita Homes (38:38) who was inelligible for the Provincial Title but collected the Napier Club title - (Mark)]. Ross McIntyre (H) who won the Wellington Marathon last Saturday easily accounted for the Masters grade over 8k in a steady 32m53s from Phil McKay (H) in 34m40s with Niall McCormack (N) placing third in 37m35s. Andrea Williams (H) had a great tussle with Napier's Annie Kane over 6k with Andrea retaining her title in 30m37s from Annie in 30m52s with evergreen Cheryl Simpson claiming the third placing in 37m19s. One of the highlight runs of the day was Nationally ranked Grace McConnochie from Gisborne Harriers who won the women's 19 and under grade by 4min in 25m20s from Hastings runner Monica Burnard. Another good runner from Gisborne, Georgia Harris, won the women's 16 and under grade over 4k in 18m17s from Anneke Smith (H) second in 19m39s with Holly Edmonds (N) third in 20m26s. Napier's Toa Elphick-Iaveta won the mens 16 and under grade by a very comfortable 2min over 6k in 24m16s from Gisborne's Campbell Parkinson with Napier's Billy Kerr claiming third spot in 27m59s. Shamus Christison of Napier accounted for the boys 14 and under grade over 4k in a very steady 16m36s from Sean Morrison, Hastings, in 16m54s with Zane Jennings having another solid run for Napier to place third in 17m36s. Another standout performance came from young Georgia Creagh from Napier Harriers having her first cross country championship race in the girls 14 and under grade to win by close on 2 and a half minutes over 4k in 19m08 from clubmates Laura Langley in 21m33s and Angela Sunnex in 25min. Bradley Christison (N) carried on his seasons winning way in the boys 12 and under grade over 2k and won comfortably in 8m07s from his ever improving clubmate Joshua Keating in 8m52s and brother Thomas Christison in 8m58s. Monique Way from Hastings also continued her winning form to claim 1st place in the girls 12 and under grade over 2k in 9m19s from her clubmate Summer Holdaway in 10m06s with Napier's Zara Keighley holding onto third place in 10m37s.
A small team of runners were selected for the National Cross Country Champs in Christchurch on 23 July, those runners are Toa Elphick-Iaveta (Boys 16), Georgia Harris (Girls 16), Grace McConnochie (Womens 19) and Neville Smith (Senior Men). |
