Round 2 – 13/11/2021
This is going to be our most challenging season for years, with only one home round and no track for training for much of the season. After an encouraging start last round, we were down to sixth this time, and in serious danger of missing the playoffs. Please contact the club if you are having difficulty with travel arrangements, as they will be able to help.
Welcome to Sue Cairns, soon to be Sue Kilmartin and already competing under that name, who ran her first competitive race in 35 years on Saturday to set a new women’s 1500m club record in her age group. Well done Sue.
Those to top the lists in Zone A include:
Paul Mierisch again was our top scoring athlete, with 1196. David Firth came in next on 1177 and then Campbell McLennan on 1098. Thanks to all those who helped as officials and team managers.
