Uringa club members were out in force to cope with the large crowds expected, and delivered, at the recent Sydney Summer Series event on Wednesday. Some 250+ runners of all ages came along, with families, elites and diehards all rubbing shoulders at the start. The map was named 'Snail's Bay' but there was nothing sluggish about winners Andrew Hill and Richard Green who both got 600 points in the allotted 45 minutes. With 54 of the runners getting 500 points or over it was a course for fast thinking and quicker legs.
Wendy Stevenson, who last year scored an amazing 1200 points to win the Veteran Women's category with an unsurpassed 100 point average over 26 events, is this year appearing in the Walker's category due to some injury problems. ONSW Comms predicts that this speedster will be back on sparkling form soon, but in the meantime Michelle Povah of Bennelong is doing a good job of showing Wendy how it is done in the Walking category.
