Paul's rough guide to racing yesterday...(sorry for errors)
The team looked great at Roto Kohatu on Saturday in lovely spring conditions. Everyone looked in good form or were running themselves into form in the four races over the challenging course.
Current IRXC Champion Georgia Freeman looked all class to lead in the Year 5/6 girls in 7.42 ahead of Dominique Heath and Jessie Anderson with first Year 5 being Alice King ahead of Lorna Pairman in 8.20 approx.
Also looking in good form was current IRXC Champion Angus Bailey leading in Tom Moulai (who had played rugby in the morning) in the Year 6 Boys in 7.12 approx. Zander Wager continued his good recent form to head in the Year 5 boys in 7.40 approx. ahead of Year 5 Captain Chris Dryden who showed the advantages of a season's racing (he qualified 10th in the original team).
The Year 7/8 Girls' were lead in by impressive Year 7 Frances Daley with Kate Meynell heading the year 8 Girls' with Natalie Dryden second Year 7 ahead of a big bunch including Year 8 Captain Zoe Ladd.
The final race of the day was a small field of Year 7/8 Boys' as many are running in Tauranga tomorrow at the AIMS Games Cross Country. Nevertheless, after 10minutes 42 approx. Year 8 Captain, Ben Oliver, just headed in Year 9 guest, Matt Dryden. Second Year 8 was Guy Greenslade with Fergus Eglesfield first Year 7 ahead of a fast finishing Cameron Avery.
It was great to see some family members and others having a go over a hilly and challenging course. Bring on the water of Omaka next Sunday afternoon!
