One of if not the youngest runner, ‘Sebastian Rossi’ has won race 8 of the Bendigo Athletic Club.
Only 11 years old, Rossi on Sunday, took his place amongst the pantheon of race winners to win the 6.5km event in a time of 30:16.
A first-year runner with the club, Rossi ran three 17th placings including a 20th placing in previous season races before taking out the Schultz and Stewart sponsored event.
With a starting handicap of 8:20, Rossi set off with co-marker Charlie Wardrop and started making his move through the field of 28 runners.
