Marlborough Harrier Club

NEWS:

The Mount Vernon Challenge last weekend went off without a hitch. Warm and sunny weather made it a pleasant, all-be-it long and hilly experience. Nobody went the wrong way this year, and the winner was: Billy Hebberd in the Men's division and Anna Eatherley in the Women's division. Full results on the results page.

Club member Roseanne Robinson has a national ranking of second in Women 19 and under race walking following an outstanding performance in Taranaki at the weekend. This saw her claim line honours in the Womens 19 and under 5km race in a personal best time of 28 minutes and 31 seconds. The 5km event was a support race for the Race Walking New Zealand 15km Championship.
Roseanne represented Marlborough Girls College in the South Island Secondary Schools championship at Timaru in April, gaining third place. As a result of this performance she was invited to take part in the Taranaki event. Leading on from her Taranaki performance Roseanne is now receiving national coaching assistance and specific short distance road races are being targeted leading into summer.
