Sebastian Rossi has won the 2019/20 Flack Advisory Distance Series Final over 1000 metres at Bendigo's Tom Flood Sports Centre! The 12 year old ran a time of 3.52 minutes, but 70 years & 1 second, separated first & second with 82 year old John Justice being out sprinted by the young star, with Series Aggregate Winner Justine Graham a further 1 second back in third place.
The top three put distance into the rest of the field with Greg Hilson finishing in 4th, but 8 seconds behind Graham.
Most of the field finished with season best times on the cut & rolled, bowling green like grass surface, with Luke Matthews running the fastest time of 3.09 minutes to finish 6th.
