Generation Z recorded some impressive victories around the state on Sunday.
Garingal's Duncan Currie, by the remarkable margin of 48 seconds, took out the Sydney Sprint on a great new map (check out the insets) by Andrew Hill at Middle Head in Mosman.
Duncan was a clear winner from clubmate Aidan Dawson, who has had a stellar summer as he bids to make the Australian team for the junior World Champs in July.
Two other Garingalites right in the mix for JWOC, Toby Wilson and Daniel Hill, were 6th and 7th to cap off the wet evening in the former WWII fort that offered mini mazes of tunnels and sensational harbour views.
In Wagga, teenagers won all three courses in the club's first bush event of the season on Willan's Hill - the north-south ridge that dominates the city skyline.
Lachlan Billett won the 4.4km hard course, with three serious climbs up the ridge line, from veteran John Oliver. Ed McDougall held off veteran Wes Campbell by 29 seconds in the 2.8km moderate course, while Will Cronk smashed the 1.3 km easy course in 10.19, three minutes faster than his rivals.
With the annual Riverina schools champs there in six weeks, it was a handy hitout for the triumphant trio.
We should also mention the special effort of Newcastle duo of Nicola Blatchford and Swedish import Malin Andersson, who were the leading women at the 4km Newcastle Park final... then drove to Sydney to compete in and assist with the sprint at Mosman.
Likewise Dave Lotty, and Dan Redfern and Paul Shingler who ran at SHOO's first Forest Series event in Belanglo State Forest then backed up for the afternoon sprint. We love your dedication!
