Many runners turn out for training jog

In near perfect conditions on Saturday afternoon many runners competed in a series of cross-country events staged by the Taupo Harrier Club. After last week's races the pressure was eased. The first half of each run was taken easily and the second half fast. It was a good short, sharp work-out for most runners. Results were. — Senior fast pack [6000 metres]: Noel Bennett (21m 30s) 1, Bruce McGregor 2. Keith Scandlyn 3. Senior medium pack [6000 metres]: Bernie O'Donnell and Tom McAneney 1 equal.
