West Carr and Harvey 12 600 metre Handicap
A cool morning greeted the field of 51 who turned out for the running of the West Carr and Harvey 12.6 km handicap at Wurdiboluc on Sunday morning. Conditions were ideal for the race that consisted of a lap of the reservoir which is alarmingly low. It was long distance specialist Colleen Stephens who held off Ralph Wright by 60 metres with Daniel Wilson 120 metres behind in third. Stephens won the Melbourne Marathon in her younger days and her previous open club handicap victory was at the same venue in 2014. Fastest time honours went to Sue Andrews and Jacob Luca narrowly. Nine athletes contested the consolation 5 km with Jo MacCarthy successful. Michele Henshaw was acknowledged for reaching her 100 run milestone. A sumptuous morning tea was consumed post race.
