Matamata Road Relays 2013 Results
Popular long standing event. Attracted around 30 teams from around the Waikato Bay of Plenty. There was strong support from walkers. It is a great little event run well by a small club.
Despite forecast for rain it remained fine and was cloudy. Course was on footpaths and was a fast flat 3.3 km circuit. It provided clubs with a great short blast prior to provincial road champs on the Trident High School circuit in Whakatane next weekend.
There were some classy Hamilton City Hawks efforts which confirmed form for national road relay teams at Takahe Akaroa in October
There were ten teams from Hawks with excellent club spirit shown. Lots of laughs and loud support.
Hawks teams won quite a few events and our M19 team led by Theunis Pieters led the whole way to win the overall event. Camille Buscomb ran a smart 10.33 to give the open women a great start and her class was obvious when she finished ahead of Kent Hodgson and John Crane who had their usual head to head battle with Kent winning back a beer by a desperate sprint over the last 200. But they didn’t catch Camille.
The Masters Women’s A team showed remarkably consistent form with Marion MiIllward 13.17, Helen Hall King 13.19 and Maureen Leonard and Trish Stockman both on 13.22. Got to be a prize for that. A bar of chocolate perhaps!!!!
Some Matamata relay history. Event is in its 43rd year I think. In the boom period of the seventies and eighties Auckland clubs used to attend and University was a perennial winner. Fields of over 60 or more teams were common. Fastest lap time that can be recalled is that of John Campbell who at 40 was the world fastest masters marathoner and ran his lap around the streets of Matamata in about 9.05. I am searching all my old NZ Runner and NZ Athlete mags for more historical detail and to find the women’s fastest lap This year Kerry Suter Hawks at 9.58 was the quickest with a gutsy run.
Camille took out the fastest lap time for women at 10.33.
