Shaw Baton Gives Harriers First Win. — Thompson a Real Find
Shaw Baton Gives Harriers First Win.
Thompson a Real Find.
Not yet a year old, the 'Varsity Harrier Club has already put up two good performances in inter-club meets. The Club, realising that it does not pay to be too ambitious at the start, entered a team in the B grade Provincial Championships, and finished in fourth place. The team which put up this good performance was Sheard. Cairns, Thompson. Viggers Shorland, Sceats.
Cairns ran a really good race, and finished eleventh in the big field—a highly creditable performance.
Following this performance the Club entered a team in the B grade Shaw Baton event, and in a relay race which, it is reported, caused more interest than the more important "A" event, won after a hard struggle. The team was: Viggers, Thompson, Sheard. Sceats, Bagnall. Shorland. and the men ran good races. Thompson put up an outstanding race, and should be a valuable asset to the Club next year.
The Club Championship was won by Bag-nall, who this achieves the distinction of being the first Club Title-holder.
Keenness on the part of the Committee has had a great deal to do with the early success of the Club, and there is every reason to expect that next year further progress will be made.
