Coffs Coast Athletics Home ground – Sawtell
MNC Cross Country Botanic Gardens 10th April 2016
Familiar names dominated the 2 & 5kms leader board but there were some new comers to the fore in the 10kms in the first races of the Mid North Coast Cross Country Series held on the Coffs Creek Walkway on Sunday.
Tim Martin and Elke Bowles led in the males and females respectively in the 2kms with Jyii Mann and Daniel Williams rounding out the podium for the males while Gabby Sullivan and Ainhoa Appleton did likewise for the females.
The 5kms was a Karlie Swanson ‘clinic’ as she showed that injury and illness may slow her marginally but even coming off a break she is a force to be reckoned with. Her 18.06 led the males and females to the finish. Next best and first male was Jyii Mann who backed up well from his 2kms effort. Jess Deans and Fiona Bagley were second and third females. Mitchell Karrasch and the Burridge twins, Ben and Tom, impressively ducked under the 20 minutes to follow Swanson and Mann to the finish at the Botanic Gardens.
In the 10kms newcomers, Adam Temesi and Kate Heywood, led in their respective genders as well as finishing first and second across the line. More familiar names, Phil Viles and Tina Thompson, filled the runner-up roles with Nigel Cotsell and Tanya Griffin taking third spots.
With over 100 finishers across the three distances the organisers were well pleased with the turn-out for the first races of the new season. The next edition of the Mid North Coast Cross Country Series will be held at Sandy Beach with the 2kms leading off at 9.00am.
