Te Awamutu Golf Course 2018 Results
Report by Mudlark – Don Will Willoughby
Murray Green manager and promoter of the Paperplus Te Awamutu golf links fun run was delighted to receive 90 online entries for the run and some 37 more made a post entry on race day. What a privilege to race on a golf links. The 3km circuit was a mix of fast flat terrain with sufficient undulations to provide an excellent cross country challenge for early season racing. Very smooth and dry surface but no mud present for the true mudlarks.
More than 25 Hawks took part and it was pleasing to see the Hawks singlet so prominent. A mass start saw a number of options with run or walk over 3km, 6km or 9km. A number of Hawks caught the eye. Over 3km Lucy Farrell was the quickest student with 11.49. On the 2 lap 6km Gina Butler was first female on 24.14 with Samantha Corbett taking second spot with 24.31. Over 3 laps a Wanganui Teenager Liam Back was real quick clocking 30.24 to win this section. Mathijis Wetzels was an impressive 4th with 33.53. The women’s section of the 9km saw Cambridge Harriers Alice Mason running very strongly to take out this section from world masters champ Sally Gibbs 35.30 with our own Emerson Deverell third of 35.35. Emerson was having her first race as a senior woman and running with Andrew Wark 35.28 and John Charlton Cambridge 35.36 this trio clocked laps of 11.45, 12.01 and came home strong with 11.49 for the last lap to show great even paced racing. They all commented on the liberal interpretation of running within 2-3 metres of the cones by many of those ahead of them. John Bowe shows himself in good early season form with 34.16. After my recent heart op it was a pleasure to attend the first open cross country of the year and be able to help in a small way calling lap times and supporting the Hawks singlet.
The Te Awamutu Athletic Club ran an attractive well organised event and we hope that young athletes under coach Murray Greens care will benefit from the money raised.
