Matthew Storms from Last to First

Backmarker Matthew Noden showed the field how it was done in the Kid's 1 Kilometre event at No. 7 Reservoir in Kangaroo Flat on Sunday morning. Giving the rest of the field starts of up to 1 minute and 20 seconds Matthew ran strongly, recording Fastest Time of 3:43 for the distance, crossing the line 2 seconds ahead of Isabella Ellis.

Youth versus Age

No. 7 Reservoir at Kangaroo Flat is the venue this Sunday for the tenth race of the Bendigo Athletic Club cross-country season, the Central Trophies and Gifts 8000 metres Handicap. This race is wide open with at least half a dozen potential winners.

It comes down to a battle of age versus youth – the maturity and experience of veterans Kane Ellis, Kevin Shanahan, Chook Stewart and Mark Perdon against the youth and enthusiasm of Reza Azimi and Ingrid Douglass. In a close finish Kane might just outlast Reza.

Brett beats Bridesmaid Bayo!

Local primary school teacher Brett Gilligan has powered home to take out Race 9 of the Bendigo Athletic Club’s cross country season. The win was also a huge PB for Gilligan for the 6.5km distance in the event sponsored by Viatek held at Notley’s Reserve in the Whipstick forest.

No Looking Back for Jack

Jack Parker stormed to his second win of the season in the Childrens' IK race held at Notley's Reserve on Sunday July 26. Jack improved his fastest time for the distance by 9 seconds, and that was exactly the margin by which he beat his brother Baxter into second place.

Baxter just held off an improving Isabella Ellis who finished only 3 seconds behind him. Connor Findlay filled fourth place ahead of Fastest Time runner Emma Gilligan. Emma has also been the fastest girl in 7 of the 8 races she's competed in this season.

Not Easy at Notley's

Bendigo Athletic Club’s next race is the Viatek 6.5Km handicap event on Sunday, July 26th at Notley’s Reserve in the Whipstick Forest. In a season in which winners have been difficult to pick this race promises to be a tipster's nightmare.
