University Relay, Queen Elizabeth Park, Paekakariki Saturday, 7 May 2011
Olympic had 19 teams entered in this relay, one more last year. Five Olympic teams finished in the top three (to be confirmed): masters men A (2nd), junior men A (2nd), masters women A (2nd), junior women A (2nd), junior women B (3rd) - two more top three placings than last year; well done!
Hayden Prosser ran the club's fastest time; Mike Waterman ran fastest equal masters time overall.
Looks like there was a bit of rivalry between teams, with the SM-B, JM-B and MM-A teams all finishing very close together at the end - and not too far behind of the SM-A team after their lap 4 runner was waylaid by a wrong turn. A couple of the junior women B team are also putting a lot of pressure on the A team!
