Yeovil 5km May 2007

 

There were also some great performances by the 24 Harriers competing at the May edition of the Yeovilton 5km road race last Wednesday. In a field of 162 athletes, Jon Gilling led the way for the Club with his 5th place in 16.12. Then a whole sweep of Harriers occupied 18th to 21st positions with just 6 seconds separating all of them. James Hardy in 17.27 just got the better of Tom Lock, and Dickie Wythe inched ahead of Les Lock, 17.33, this time out.

 

Tom Lock was first junior athlete home and Karen Buckley was first woman home in an excellent 18.13. Carole Buckland and Pat Challis were using the race as part of their preparation for the Moon Walk Marathon and are steadily building up the mileage as well as the speed. Steve Padfield also made a welcome return to racing after a long lay off.
