The Trinity Relays, Ewen Park, Hurlstone Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was great to back in the Inner West for The Trinity Relays last Saturday. They always prove to be a fun and fast affair. This played into the Bestic family plans as they shot off post-race to celebrate our Captain James\u2019 18th Birthday. No doubt Mum smothered him with kisses for the duration of the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massed start of all teams at once proves to be a bit nuts, but racing soon settles down mid-first lap. We promoted James Warren<\/strong> from the Intermediates to bolster our Opens team, and he settled into a good rhythm not too far adrift from the leaders. He then handed onto a determined Daniel Becker<\/strong>. The pace was hot up front with the Cranbrook Staff Team scorching their way around the course, setting a new record. Daniel soon sent James Bestic<\/strong> on his way, and then it was Tom Gray\u2019s<\/strong> turn to charge off with the baton\u2026 and secured his teammates and Shore a solid 7th in the Opens race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in their rearview mirror were the Shore Intermediate Team, who were having a red-hot crack at securing a place in their category. Hugo Stewart<\/strong> led the charge and had a fine first leg. He handed proceedings over to Ben Frantz,<\/strong> who continues to improve, and they were established \u2018well amongst it\u2019 in the Inters. Toby Ward<\/strong> shot out of the change zone like a cannon and set up a fine position for our anchor man, Jonty Jagger,<\/strong> who had a blistering run to secure 3rd in the team\u2019s event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Juniors Team also looked awesome on paper and didn\u2019t fail to impress in their racing. George Harvey<\/strong> led the team from the start and handed over to teammates Henry Grieve<\/strong>, Zac Roberston<\/strong> and Alex Baxter<\/strong>. These four combined excellently to be 6th in the Juniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, all in all, it was a fun and action-packed day of Cross Country Relay racing at Ewen Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We head back to Rydalmere and UpJohn Park tomorrow for our last Cross Country of the Season with our CAS brothers. It includes the fun GPS v CAS races, which is an opportunity for each association to \u2018flex\u2019, in the three age groups, and we are chuffed to have Toby Ward<\/strong> and James Warren<\/strong> representing GPS in the Intermediate GPS Team with Jonty Jagger<\/strong> as a reserve. Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good running,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
