It was a great afternoon in Tomerong on Saturday 27th July for mystery partner round of cross country. This was a round re-introduced after many years absence, and although the numbers were low, the participants enjoyed the injection of fun in the cross country competition.
Partnering up in the 3km, Emerson Boatswain and Declan Bennett took the win whilst Peter Dooley and Jason Haig were 2nd. Third was Katie Martin with Madeline Oke.
In the medium course, there was a sprint finish to take the line honours and more importantly, the chocolates! Scott Armstrong and Alex Arnold managed to out-sprint duo Nic McGill and Lily Sproule to claim their prizes!
In 3rd place was new runner Riley Haig, partnered with Eva Moeller-Duhme, demonstrating great sportsmanship as they crossed the line together.
Long course was won by paired Daniel Wood and Perry Strand. Next couple home was Scott Martin and Brad Sawyers, followed by duo Darcy Arnold and Glenn Sansom. The final partners to finish out the round were Scott Johnson and Erich Moeller-Duhme, raising their arms in triumph.
Meanwhile Hamish Bennett was the sole participant in the 1km race and Malachy Martin also went solo in the 2km.
