ATHLETICS
HARRIERS By GARY FOX LAST week’s (December 8) Harriers Thursday night running was at the Joe Carmody Athletics Track in Newborough. We had a great turnout with a total of 49 runners in cool conditions. Great running by Pete Cutler saw him take out the men’s 10km in a very impressive 35.26. Next home was Ian Cornthwaite in 38.21. Excellent running by Yani Cornthwaite saw her first lady home in the 10km with 41.59, followed by Liz Kenney (47.08) and Ree Graham (54.23). Last weekend (December 4), the Harriers ran the annual King and Queen of the mountain challenge – which is a 30km run from Loy Yang to the top of Mount Tassie. In hot conditions, a hardy contingent took on the full 30km challenge with many more participating as part of a relay team. An amazing run by Jordan Cowley saw him first to the top and crowned King of the Mountain in two hours 10 minutes 20 seconds. Georgia Calloway was crowned Queen of the Mountain in 4: 39.06. In the spirit of Christmas, this week’s run is a novelty run followed by the clubs Christmas breakup function. The club will resume normal night runs on Thursday, January 12.
