Harriers

The overall standard of university harriers is rising and Victoria harriers have made some impact on the local scene. Four members finished almost together in the provincial championships at Masterton As several members are only now recovering from injuries incurred some improvement can be expected. The Victoria team will rely heavily on George Seconi, John Souter, Keith Gore and Geoff Rashbrooke. Among the other members of the team will be Richard Mace who has been a persistent trier and David Bullock a junior runner with staying power.

Bob Wilson has matched George Seconi and John Souter at times and should materially improve Victoria's prospects. The last position is still to be decided.

The top universities in harrier running are undoubtedly Auckland and Otago with Canterbury in a strong position Although Massey recently defeated Victoria in an intervarsity contest, Victoria were without several leading members and have a good chance of evening the score on this count at least.
