Geelong Cross Country Club Paddy Dwyer
TriLending Eliminator
A field of 57 assembled for the time honoured TriLending Eliminator at Waurn Ponds . The blustery north wind made the exposed sections of the course testing. All entrants had to complete both the 4 km and 3 km events with the best performed twenty runners qualifying for the 2 km final. It was this season’s emerging club champion, Jaime Bell, who won by 60 metres from Mark Salomon with Sean Charleson 10 metres away in third place. A second season runner being trained by Louis Rowan who had won this race previously, it was Bell’s third club win.
