XCR15 – Round 1 – Jells Park Cross Country Relays – 18 April 2015
April 27, 2015
JUNIORS SHINE AT JELLS PARK
Box Hill juniors performed extremely well at the Jells Park cross country relays on Saturday, winning one gold and three silver medals. Our over 40 teams also picked up two medals.
Of the 13 divisions in which Box Hill fielded complete teams, we picked up 6 medals and two 4th places.
The Box Hill under 14 men’s team of Murray Lovass, Spencer Anderson and Mac Anderson won the gold medal, while Scott McKenzie, Lucas Pamminger and Alex Ritchie (under 18 men), Amy Rives, Georgia Hansen, Paris Powell (under 18 women) and Tamsyn Lovass, Molly McCarthy and Amy Atkinson (under 16 women) all won silver. Box Hill also picked up bronze medals in the Over 40 women’s race (Amanda Harper, Pia Hunter, Talitha Crawford) and the Over 49 men’s event (Simon Watson, Tony Langelaan and John Meagher).
Our men’s division 1 team was below full strength but finished 4th only about 40 seconds outside of second place. For a full report on the Open Men’s Race, please refer to the report by Ian Sloane below.
Our under 20 men’s team came up against some extremely strong competition and was also unlucky to miss out on a medal.
Special thanks to Hanson Wong who came ready to race if needed and then helped officiating all day and to Rachel Johnson and Martine Prendergast who also helped as officials. Thanks also to everyone who helped with timekeeping, your help is very much appreciated.

Ian Sloane’s Report on the Men’s Open Races:
Box Hill had a modest commencement to the winter season with our senior teams and an excellent beginning with our junior teams.
Our Premier Division male team finished fourth just out of the medals after a strong back-end performance. The team started out in 7th position slipping to 8th and regaining 7th position at the end of the third leg. Steve Dinneen passed a number of opponents in the fourth leg to bring Box Hill up to fourth position 15 seconds behind third-placed Melbourne University. Ballarat had a commanding lead as one would have expected with Stuart McSweyn, Collis Birmingham, Ryan Gregson and Brett Robinson in their team. Steve Moneghetti was a late inclusion in the Ballarat team after expecting to run in the 50 + team.
Geelong were also very competitive and as the race progressed Knox came into the picture with a surge towards the end. Will Potter and Steve Kelly can very creditably to maintain fourth place. Will got past Melbourne University but was unable to hold off Zak Patterson who ran a very fast leg. Knox’ momentum carried them into the silver medal position, over five minutes behind Ballarat. Steve Kelly ran an almost identical time to his Knox opponent, and he just missed catching his Geelong opponent. Geelong won the bronze medal and Box Hill was next over the line, fourth.
The Division 2 team had a hard battle, with the three top placed teams performing extremely well. Essendon, relegated from Division 1 won the race from Doncaster, which is on the rise again, and Western Suburbs which took the early lead and fell back later when its depth was slightly less than its opponents. Nick Baggott and James McConnell were our standout performers.
Unfortunately, we did not field any other senior men’s teams, which is a surprising turnabout form previous seasons when we have been competitive in four divisions.

The AAG will meet three times a year to consider, review and recommend future programs across a number of areas including:
(a) Athlete, club, coach and officials pathway
(b) All forms of competition products
(c) Programs to assist athletes, coaches, officials and club administrators and
(d) Effective forms of communications to our membership.
Athletics Victoria invite the membership to provide an expression of interest to be part of the inaugural AAG. This is an independent consultative group that will help guide the future of the sport in Victoria.
If you would like to be considered please email your interest to: glen@athsvic.org.au
Expressions of interest will be open until 5.00pm Tuesday March 31 with the first meeting of the AAG Scheduled for Wednesday 15th April at 6.00pm at Cathy Freeman Room, Athletics House 31 Aughtie Drive , Lakeside.
