Easter Bunny 10k report- by our racing correspondent

(Harrier- could you write a report from your next race? Let Paul or Bob know)

 

On the road, one of the Harrier’s GB internationals, Frank Tickner, was back competing on home ground following his previous outing for the British team at the World XC Championships held in Jordan last month. Frank ran in the Yeovilton Easter Bunny 10k race which attracted well over 300 runners. He scorched round in 30.30 and led the Harrier’s senior men’s team to victory. James Hardy, Pete Darton and top veteran Les Lock were the other winners of the men’s team prize.

 

Jenny Moore was 2nd woman home in the 10k in a nippy 38.12 and again she led the Harrier’s senior women’s team to victory with Katerina Prior & Carol Buckland making up the winning team. In total there were 17 Harriers running in the 10k.

 

Further down the field Alice Knight ran an excellent personal best of 47.33 and there were also some good runs by new members of the club, some making their first racing appearance.

 

JUNIORS

In the accompanying junior races on the field, the Harrier’s Luke Prior scorched away from the rest of the field to win the mile race in 5.38 with team mate Annabel Arnold also gaining victory for the girls. There were some other good runs by juniors all the way down the age scale to age 7 – well done everyone! Yeovil Town RR are to put on a junior race at all of the 5k races this summer with the help of Wells Harriers & Yeovil Olympiad members. So make a date in your diary: 2nd Wednesday of every month May to September at the same venue– junior race of 1 mile (same as at the Easter Bunny) costs £1 to enter with the race starting at 7pm.
