2021 ANSW All Comers was held at the SOPAC Warm Up Track on 18th December. The weather was hot and so was the competition!
Nowra Athletics Club was represented by three Masters runners and two junior athletes in the sprints.
Max Marshall kicked off the program for Nowra in heat 10 of the 100m, running in 2nd in a PB of 11.58, well under the National Qualifier. In heat 11, Matt Reid ran a PB of 12.37. Heat 12 then saw Paul Musgrove ran a 50+ masters PB of 13.41 whilst heat 13 was contested by Mark O’Leary who ran a PB of 14.42.
Alisha Mustapic was the only female representative for Nowra and she also ran a PB, coming in 3rd in 14.05.
In the 200m, despite his initial reluctance to compete, Max Marshall once again ran a PB and National Qualifier, finishing in 23.61.
Matt Reid achieved his 2-year goal of running under 25.00, earning himself a PB of 24.95. Heat 11 was contested by both Paul Musgrove and Mark O’Leary with Paul crossing the line 1st in a PB of 27.71 and Mark coming in 2nd in 30.22.
Alisha Mustapic completed the program with a 6th place in a PB of 29.84.
It seems the temperatures served the athletes well – but not so much the spectators! LOL
