Connor Findlay left the best for last, winning the final race of the Bendigo Athletic Club Kid’s Series season at No. 7 Reservoir in Kangaroo Flat on Sunday morning.  Connor ran his fastest time for the year, improving on his previous best by 5 seconds for the 1 kilometre distance.

Connor never looked like losing and crossed the line 4 seconds clear of the consistent Baxter Parker with Baxter’s brother Jack Parker a further 4 seconds back in third place.

Veteran athlete Kevin Shanahan has produced his best run for a number of seasons to take out race 12 of the Bendigo Athletic Club’s cross country season.  The Carl Barkmeyer Electrics 5km handicap event had proven hard to predict a winner however in the end Shanahan won convincingly and fairly comfortably too holding out another pre race favourite Kane Ellis by 24 seconds.  Rounding out the top three was Rick Ermel who is another veteran athlete enjoying some return to form after being held back with injuries.

The East Bendigo Rifle Range in Pratts Park Rd. is the venue this Sunday for the twelfth and final points scoring race of the Bendigo Athletic Club cross-country season, the Carl Barkmeyer Electrics 5000 metres Handicap.
