Little Aths

Rickylee Brown running for her Little Aths team – 6.45 for 1500m.

A big welcome and congratulations to Georgia Pike making her debut as a Richmond Harrier in an AV event as a registered runner.

Thanks once again to all our officials and club helpers: Max Giblett, Bill Peterson, Mal Cother, Cal and Jessica O’Callaghan, Greg Byrne, Brendan and Christine Dell, Kevin Solomon, Frank Brennan, Moose and John Coleman.

Next event – Advanced Freight Half Marathon, Burnley.

Thanks to our officials/helpers, Christine Dell, Mal Cother, Barry Lynch, Moose, Bill Peterson and Kevin Solomon.

Good luck next week to Jake Brown competing in the National Cross Country Championships in Brisbane.

For everyone else, next event is the City of Yarra/Bob Cook Hcp. at Yarra Bend Park. Meet at the Collingwood athletics track on Heidelberg Rd. Gold coin entry fee. Race starts at 2.00p.m., so be there early enough to sign in and get across to the start line.

The results of the handicap indicate the difficulty of the course – as Bob Glover says in Competitive Runner’s handbook “Cross country is a different kind of sport, best appreciated when it’s over”.    I think we can all agree with this.

Joji and Marissa took first place,  Tony Langelaan took “Run of the Day” in the Men’s and Sharon Higgins in the women’s event.  Special mention should also be made of young Thomas Harvey who ran 25.15 showing great potential.  We also welcome Georgia Pike who ran as an “Invite” but in Richmond colours  One again thanks for the assistance of our club’s volunteers, many thanks to Christine Dell, John Coleman, Max Giblett, Barry Lynch, Kevin Solomon and Bill Petersen.

Congratulations to Brendan Dell who competed in the Pole Vault Competition at Box Hill over the weekend with a height of 2.25.  It was Brendan’s first competition since last summer and he is back into training for the coming season.

Our next club run is The President’s Run, to be held on 14^th August at 2.00p.m.

Congratulations to Joji Mori and Petrina Trowbridge for winning the Run of the Day, and to Jake Brown on his selection to the Victorian team.

Thanks also to our helpers/officials on the day: Christine Dell, John Coleman, Moose, Frank Brennan, Barry Lynch, Kevin Solomon, Max Giblett, Brendan Dell and Mal Cother.
