Good Performances By Runners

Good performances by two first-year senior runners, G. McKechnie (St. Andrews) in the half-mile, and A. Tweedie (High School Old Boys) in the sprints, were features at the interclub meeting at Rugby Park on Saturday.

Tweedie narrowly won the 75 yards from M. Poulsen (University). Both were given the same time of eight sesonds. A former New Zealand 100 and 220-yard title holder and the present national 440-yard title holder, D. Mackenzie (University) was third.

In the 220 yards Tweedie raced away to win in 22.8 sec against a stiff head wind blowing down the straight. Poulsen was second in 23.1 sec, with McKenzie again third. McKenzie, after a fast first lap of 54sec in the open halfmile, was followed closely at the finish by T. McGillivray (Toe H). McKenzie, junior national 440 yd title holder, recorded Imin 55.35ec and McGillivray, Imin 55.55ec. J. McDonald (Riccarton) was third in Imin 56.55ec.

The senior women’s sprints were closely contested with B. Poulsen (Technical) getting the judge’s decision, but having the same time as L. Hurrell (Technical) in the 75 yards—B.Bsec. Miss Hurrell won the 220 by .lsec from S. Potts (Otago) in 25.65ec. Miss Potts recorded 25.75ec. In the senior men’s three mile B. Jones (University) finished more than 300 yards ahead of the next runner, A. Coor (Technical). Jones did 14min 14.4 sec, which was good considering the strong breeze in the front straight, slight drizzle and there being no competition. Jones did 4min 35sec for the first mile.
