One Hour Track Event
On a perfect evening at ECAC, 15 MAWA athletes thoroughly enjoyed the first one hour event we have held for many a long year.
There were some outstanding performances. Gerard Hill attained the best ever distance by a MAWA athlete at 18,160m, beating the previous best held by one Jim Langford by around 300m.
Jim was there but was pipped to an M80 state record by Bert Carse who covered 9,770m. Son Ross had a great run, catching Roberto Busi on the 16th lap and clinching an M45 State Record with 16,843m. Rounding out the men’s State Records was Michael Lee, just into the M75 age group, with 11,643m.
The women were equally impressive. Clare Wardle’s first major foray as a W50 saw her comfortably take Lorna Lauchlan’s State Record with a very impressive 13,699m. No one was surprised to see Julie Wilson take the W70 record with 10,432m, while club vice president Silke Peglow beat Melinda Fisher to the W55 record with 9,349m.
Our thanks to the helpers and lap scorers for their part in a great evening, and we enjoyed a post-run pizza delivery ordered by Rochelle.
All those who missed out on this event will have to wait until next year, when we hope to get closer to the 25 entrant limit
