It was a good day for Box Hill at the Tan in the final event of the XCR ’19 season, with a win in the women’s Division 2 competition, 2nd place to our Premier Division men and Over 50 women and third place to the Over 50 men, the Under 20 men, the Under 20 women and the Under 16 men.
Despite several withdrawals from our Premier Division men’s team, the team ran very well to put our team in contention all the way and finish a close 2nd. Special mention to Adrian Potter, who ran a brilliant first leg in the fast time of 10:49 for his lap of the Tan and to 16 year Doug Buckeridge, who stepped up to the open Premier Division team and held his own against older more experienced opponents.
Our Division 2 women’s team were clear winners and cemented their place on top of the ladder and will now be promoted back to the Premier division next year.
