Harriers

Harriers

With first rate attendances at all the runs held so far this year the Harrier Club appears to be in for a very good season. Many of Wellington's hills and roads are again being traversed by the Club's energetic feet . . . already the aggregate distance covered by all members on the Saturday runs exceeds a thousand miles. The first competitive run of the season was the Novice Race held over a short, hilly course of two and a half miles at Worser Bay. This year a long tradition was broken in that the race could not be held on the day following Capping Ball. This fact may well have contributed towards the improved showing over last year by some of the runners. The first man home was Tony Gow who completed the course in the good time of 14mins. 46secs. B. Pringle and P. Leslie, two very promising juniors, followed close on his heels.

By the time this comes to print the annual Wellington to Masterton Road Race will have taken place. This is an intervals event in which each club supplies a 10-man relay team. The Victoria team has been training hard and is confident of making a greatly improved showing on last year's performance. The following is our team for the event in order of the laps to be run:—
  • J. Goodwin, R, Milburn, R. Rawnsley, G. Barnard, D. Warnock, J. Mawson, T. Gow, K. Hancock, M. Matheson and M. Truebridge.
