Scottish

The Valleys A team took out the open men's cup in a fine piece of relay running, finishing almost three minutes ahead of second-placed Scottish. The Scottish women's team won the open grade, admittedly without the benefit of close competition, but had some drama, when final runner Leah Karu fell near Barton's bush and Brenda Burke, the first runner, by then changed into jeans and slip-ons, jumped in and finished for the team.

The mixed grade was won by an Olympic/Capital composite team, with Kapiti second. This composite team saw multisporter Jill Westenra (Olympic) return to the short, sharp distances with a smart 15:34 lap.

In the 250+ grade, Olympic proved too strong, pulling seven minutes ahead of a Valleys team and coming third overall. The 300+ grade was won by Valleys by one minute over Scottish.

The three-person walking event was won by the host club Trentham, with another Trentham team second and Scottish third.

In an unusual display for this hitherto-sunny event, the weather packed it in, with the slower teams experiencing drizzle in the last lap.

Times are provisional. According to the numbers we have, fastest male lap was run by D Bowles (12:56, Kapiti), with Vaughan New (13:32) and Dave Murgatroyd (13:44) second and third (Valleys). The fleetest females after Jill were Robyn Stansfield (Scottish) and D Boorman (Kapiti).

Times are provisional, and based on my bad handwriting of the tentative official results. Email me if you spot a glaring error.
