A field of 72 lined up in pleasant conditions for the running of the Carol and Terry Crawford Funerals Memorial 8 km handicap at Waurn Ponds on Sunday. President Kevin McNulty provided a fitting tribute to members who have passed away.
It was the sponsors’ daughter, Madeline Crawford, who flashed home to win by 30 metres from Alan Jenkins with Marcus Gniel showing a return to form only 15 metres further back in third place. It was Crawford’s third sash for the season, having already won two heats of the sealed series.
Kate Bramley and Pat Hagan were again fastest of their gender. Fred Barnett was congratulated on reaching her 300 run milestone.
