Scottish

Great weather (again!) and a great event attracted 27 running teams and six teams of walkers, slightly up on last year. Olympic's open men's team took line honours, 1:21 ahead of last year's winners, Valleys United. The Scottish junior masters team was third, 4½ minutes later.

Once again, Scottish women were the unopposed winners of the Trentham United Cup. Another club had sufficient women to form a team, but preferred to concentrate on winning the Mixed Team trophy. All of us in the WMA should make an effort to get some competition going in this grade. That would help to sharpen up masters women's running in all the Wellington clubs.

In the teams with an average age of at least 50, Scottish was first (and last) with Valleys and Olympic the runners-up. In the 60+ average, Scottish again was first. Kapiti Harriers won the mixed grade.

In the walkers, Scottish teams took the top three spots, in a six-team competition.

Kapiti's Bruce Odams had the fastest running lap, covering the 4k in 13:39. Fastest woman was Robyn Stansfield (16:45) (I think: some clubs just used gender-free initials for their runners). Fastest male walker over 4k was Peter Baillie, while Kristeene Parkes was the quickest woman.

Results are courtesy of Team Blair. Trentham United Harriers organised the event, while member clubs of the WMA helped out with officials. An "innovation" this year was a separate finishing chute. As Colleena Blair remarks: "Whose idea was it to have a separate finishing chute? Would have worked well if all teams had been on same lap, but chaotic when there were change-overs still going on in one area and runners finishing in the other. A timekeeper cannot be in two places at once!"
