Saturday August 16th ROAD RACES Ballarat After a few milder years at Ballarat, we were welcomed with a chilly one this year. Pleasingly it stayed dry, but there was a distinct lack of warmth, although as was pointed out a number of times during the day – “it could have been worse!” Our numbers were down, perhaps our lowest for the season, but there were some terrific results from the Magpie runners. A silver medal to Lucy Leutchford in the under 14 girl’s 5k was a great reward for a very consistent season. The boys from the same age group had three finishers in the top ten with Ace Buck just missing a medal. Meaghan Gaunt (6th. u/16), Jacob Barnes (6th u/20) and Matthew Newton (10th u/18) were others to finish prominently. The senior races saw our two newly crowned Club Champions again lead the Collingwood charge in their respective events with Virginia Moloney just edging Bev Thomas out of 5th place after a very tight tussle all the way. In the men’s event the gap was almost as close with Jai Edmonds finishing two spots in front of Liam Delany. Again there had been very little between them for almost the entire race. It was great to see Magnus Michelsson back in the action after a bad run with injuries. Cadeyrn Douglas put in his best run with the Club while Leo Arantes was another to be prominent. Tony Hally made it into Divvy 1, just beating Leo home after yet another close duel over the 15k course.

They were cold too!! Thanks to Tony Hally, John Crameri, Ken Duxbury and Robert and Jacob Barnes for their help with the tent after the race – much appreciated.
