Cross Country kicked off at Hollyhill on Easter Saturday on March 30th. It was an unseasonably hot afternoon which caused both runners and the Easter eggs to melt in the heat!
In the 1km event there were just 2 competitors, mother and daughter duo, Aurora Boatswain and Anne Boatswain.
In the 2km event, Mila Bozikov was first home in 11:06 followed by Darcy Binney in 11:28 and then Malachy Martin in 12:54. Phoebe Armstrong was 4th in 13:10, accompanied by dad Scott Armstrong who crossed behind her in 13:12.
The 3km event was jointly won by Evie Binney, and her brother Wyatt Binney, both crossing in 18:57. Evie Smart was 3rd in 19:22 whilst there was some confusion for competitors Tom Smart, Thor Jackson and Emerson Boatswain who took a wrong turn and ran an abbreviated version of the course.
Medium Course was closely contested at the front with Dennis Smart taking the win in 23:27 followed by Matthew Reid in 23:37 then Peter Dooley in 24:44. Casey Johnson was next home in 26:48 then Erich Moeller-Duhme clocked 31:59 and Katie Martin 33:26. The field was rounded out by Bill Turnbull (39:37), Lisa Carroll (39:39) and Eva Moeller-Duhme (45:59).
Long Course was contested by the Scott’s! The winner was Scott Armstrong in 45:44 with Scott Martin 2nd in 48:31
and Scott Johnson 3rd in 55:56.
The Club would like to thank everyone for coming out on Easter Saturday to enjoy some running and chocolate!
