We had some great races from our athletes at the Athletics NZ cross-country champs today, despite the underfoot conditions being muddy after a day of rain on Friday. Lennox Dyer was our only medal winner, with a bronze medal in the U18 Women's 5000m. The next best placing was Kirstin Foley (W45) with 4th place with husband Nathan (M40) in 5th along with Sara Jury in the senior women's race. Tayla Sturgeon ran well for 7th place in the U16 Women's event and Cian Foley placed 8th in the U12 Boys 2000m.
All the best to our Taranaki athletes representing our centre at tomorrow's Athletics NZ Cross-country championships in chilly Christchurch.
