Waikato BOP Cross Country Champs 2018 Results
Report by Garry Wilson
Fifteen Hawks athletes made the journey across to the Eastern Bay of Plenty to enjoy a warm dry day at the Te Teko racecourse. The course itself could be described as flat, mostly firm underfoot, although there were large patches of sand and some rough footing on the race-course proper. Three track steeples per lap added a small challenge, particularly to those of us who struggle to get our bodies off the ground.
There were some excellent results from the club. None better than the Morgan Brothers Joseph and Adam providing the 1-2 quinella in the Under 15 Boys race. Do these two remind you of a certain set of twins from a few years ago?
Demi Welch ran a close meritorious second place in the U15 girls. Gemma Horan a third in the U18s.
The always improving Cory Brew finished 8th in the U11 Boys.
In the combined Masters/Senior Mens division Hamilton Hawks provided a Trifecta in the Mens 35-39 division. Reuben Tomlinson, Lance Brew and Leon Govender went 1-2-3. Logan Rodger picked up a silver in the Senior Mens division, and took the Hawks Senior Mens Honours, finishing ahead of Rodrigo, Josh and Simon.
Okay, the course wasn't the most exciting, but it did provide some good racing in a compact venue.
Locals provided a friendly, well organised event. Numbers were low , but we can anticipate a greater turnout in numbers for the Waikato Bay of Plenty Road Champs in a few weeks.
Report by Lance Brew
With the WaiBop X Country Champs this year been held at the Te Teko race course 30 km outside of Whakatane it was a reasonable drive to get there hence maybe why we didn’t have a lot of Hawks there or big fields in the races.
The first race was the U11/13’s race over 2 km which we had our youngest Hawk run in Cory 10.55 who went very well keeping a constant pace all the way picking off the kids who had gone of to fast at the start and with a little sprint finish to pick up another place.
Up next we had the U15’s 2.7 km which right from the start it was a race between the Morgan twins who went out strong and keep a very good pace all the way to the line with Joseph 9.09 pipping Adam 9.19. In the girls race Demi Welch 10.21 was 2nd.
Gemma Horan 17.47 was next up in the U18’s 4km race and ran strong for her 3rd
In the Masters 8 km race we had Rueben Tomlinson 29.23 1st 35-39 Lance Brew 29.36 2nd 35/39 Leon Gvender 39.24 3rd 35-39 Gilbert Macdonald 44.31 3rd 50-54 Garry Wilson 35.56 1st 55-59.
In the Senior race which was taken out by a former Hawk in Steve Rees-Jones 33.44 we had Logan Rodger 34.37 2nd Rodrigo Jaca Gonzale 35.20 4th Josh Nyika 36.28 5th and Simon Kerr 37.10 6th.
Great showing by all hawks who was there.
