SFR takes out Maroubra Fun Run 8k teams

Posted by Wayne on 25 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: News Articles

Members of SFR won the 8K teams event in the Maroubra fun run today. And the 4K team came 6th – not bad considering there were over 20 registered teams in the event.

High humidity with the threat of rain and those challenging hills did not worry the SFR squad as they made their way around South Maroubra. Matt W came in third place overall in the 4K after a challenging month of competition. Wayne M won his 4K age group and was surprised with his result. Jeannie and Priscilla both enjoyed the run with Jeannie doing her fastest time this season.

In the 8K Steven S did a great time with Dennis J – recovering from some minor surgery, managing a 5th place in his age group. Jim B ran hard to secure 1st place in his age group with Gerry G not far behind. Michael S ran well to bring the team home.

Well done everyone… trophies presented next week.

Sydney Frontrunner members did an amazing job at the WMG09 held at Homebush last week. A remarkable effort by Matthew Webster who finished the competition with 3 gold medals (8K cross country, 5000m track, 1500m track) and one silver medal (800m track) in his age group. Fabulous results also from Jim Box, Robert Forrest, Kieron Blackmore, Dennis Johnson and Matthew Lynch. Dennis and the two Matthews combined with Alan Jones (from AE) to come sixth place in a hot contest in the 4X400
