AVSL State relays - 13 Dec

M50+ 4 x 1500m relay:

Waverley entered a 4x1500m relay team in the Vic relay championships last night. Despite missing House, Davin and Martin, we still had a very good team.

Craig Sanford led us off and despite trailing some fast 40+ runners early on, he moved up nicely to give us a 30m lead over Box Hill.
Tim Stuckey was second and gave us a bit of a scare when Box Hill moved up to his shoulder with 1 lap to go. But Tim ran an awesome 72 second last lap to change to James McEniry with a 40 m lead.
Box Hill similarly progressively moved up to within 15m with a lap to go and had their gun Kynan Dawes waiting for the last lap. It but James also ran a blinder of a last lap to give David Venour a 50m lead on the last leg.
Kynan took off like a cut cat, but Smoothy was just too good and ended up extending our lead to about 70m. And it was gold for Waverley, with Box Hill second and Ballarat 3rd.
That is Waverley’s 3rd year in a row winning this event. Congratulations on an awesome win.
