Temperatures hit 24C as Garingal turned on a gorgeous morning for the third and last of our NSW championships for 2018 - the Sprints at UNSW.
The flat Kensington campus really let the quicker folk go out hard and fast, and there were some scorching times: Rob Bennett (Newcastle, M21A) went just under 4 minutes per km, while Duncan Currie (GO) was just above that rate in winning M16A on the same 4km Hard 1 course.
We noted these particularly meritorious wins: Tshinta Hopper (Bennelong Northside, W20A), Samantha Howe (NC, W35A), Melanie Christie (Uringa, W45A), Serje Robidoux (UR, M35AS) and Glenn Burgess (NC, M55A).
A big thanks to setter Jamie Kennedy, controller Carol Jacobson and organiser Graham Field who had to contend with last-minute out-of-bounds areas popping up on an ever-changing campus - they were up past midnight Saturday with the red texta.
Thanks to Garingal for a great morning - updated OY scores will be on the State League page later this week. All participants are asked to fill out the very brief Course Setter survey.
And a reminder that our next SL weekend is near Orange on August 18-19. Entries close on August 10.
