VRWC TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS, MENTONE, SATURDAY 26 APRIL 205
The
VRWC winter season kicked off last Saturday afternooon with track races
at
Dolomore Reserve in Mentone. The meet included VRWC Club Championships
for the following distances: 10,000m, 5000m, 3000m and 1500m. Now
that's a great way to
kick off the season! A total of 29 walkers contested the various events
on offer. Conditions were just
about perfect and there were a number of PBs and some great
performances. We also welcomed a lot of new walkers having their first
walks with the club - welcome to Ben and Felix Skurka, Anna Dubar, Daisy Hooper and Milana Fernando. Special shout outs to Bob Gardiner (M85 1500m club record) and Heather Carr (W75 1500m club record).
