More records for Karen

BOB SCHUMACHER)

The “Speed Queen" of. New Zealand roller skating’. Karen Treloar (Rollerdrome). set [Canterbury Court alight last evening in another [record-breaking spree at the national championships. Miss Treloar won her third senior women's track title (when she narrowly staved (off Gale Harvey (Wellington > to win the 1500 m final, in the brilliant time of 3min s.ssec. I Earlier in the day. Miss [Treloar had removed the (name of the former world competitor, Marlene Glover | (Masterton), from the record [books when she won her 'heat in 3min B.Bsec. which , [bettered Mrs Glover’s time by O.Ssec. ' But she obviously suffered , no lasting effects from that i effort, as she jumped immedi- • lately into the lead in the final (and wheeled around the 15J [laps at a blistering pace. 1 With 500 m remaining. Miss , Treloar and Mrs Harvey! 1 • opened a gap of 15m on[j Christine Rowe (Hastings).', (The dogged Mrs Harvey re- < [fused to lose touch with the , [lB-year-old world champion • (and she had the crowd in a frenzy as she almost drew ■ (level with Miss Treloar with I 180 m to go. ! But Miss Treloar had ' enough in reserve to beat her ■ into the bend and the dark- , haired Wellington girl was i (still tucked in at her shoulder , [when they crossed the line. Miss Treloar’s great effort gains more gloss when the (times of the senior men ' (over the same distance are 1 (taken into account. In the four men's heats over 1500 m. , (only Colin Birchall (Master- •' ton) went faster than Missy • Treloar and by a mere o.3sec i • Miss Treloar had a rather disappointing time at last ( year's national champion-; ships and her only track title; was in the 3000 m. in which; she set a New Zealand re- ( cord. Ironically, she lost her; title and record (to Mrs Harvey) this year, but won the other three events all in rec-[ ord time. Stephen Carwell-C'ooke (Mana- t xvatu) proved the swiftest of the 1 [New Zealand team at the world 1 [championships in Argentina last 5 year, and he displayed the same . I dash to win the men s 500 m time 1 ! trial in 61.5 sec. Speed apparently runs in the } family, for his main challengerii was his younger brother. Brian, [who was only O.lsec slower. He was o.2sec ahead of Robert (< 'Green (Hawke's Bax i, with the * defending champion, Colin < Hart ex (Wellington', finishing 1 fourth in 61 9sec. s Brian Green (Hawke’s Bax 1 ‘ and Mur rax* Macarthx (Roller- * ; dromen who dead-heated for < first in the 800 m earlier at the championships. had another speed duel in the intermediate F men's 500 m time trial [ Macarthx skated ahead of . [ Green and returned the satisfy- ’ ing time of 62 4sec. -John Dug-J dale (Hawke’s Bay) gave him a < fright when he went within.. O.lsec of that time, but Green!’ had the last say with a fine t 62.35ec to take the gold medal. ELBOWING Maree Maxwell (Masterton), ■who was unlucky to be involved . in elbowing at the vital time of • 1 I the intermediate women’s 800 m l( [final, made no mistake in the \ j 1500 m. She trailed Carol Easton (Levin) and Carolyn Barris (Manawatu) initially, but had' gained the lead with 550 m D [remaining. and a sustained [( sprint oxer the last 300 m leftlx ■her well clear. .Miss Easton. : winner’ of the 800 m. claimed * • second ahead of Miss Barr, who < was struggling ox er the final few • 1 I laps. J The final of the mens 1500 m •< , this evening should provide another thrilling race. The . winners of the lour heats were J separated by onl.x 2 ssec. ( Birchall was the fastest qualifier, j but the Carwell-Cooke brothers, and George Hailes (Hastings), a[ l double title-holder at the chain- 1 pionships, did not fully extend r themselves. HARRIS WINS The small contingent from ( Upper Waitaki were able to rejoice oxer the victory of Gavin,’ Harris in the junior boys singles. < Harris was forced into second < [by the confident Manawatu comIpetitor. Shaun Speer, in the freeskating section, but Harris had 1 earlier won the figures and f earned enough marks to take ■ the over-all aggregate. Similarly, Leanne Scott* '(Hawke’s Bay), third in both the figures and freeskating. « gained sufficient points to win ,the junior girls singles cham- < pionship x Abbreviations used in the fol- , 1 lowing results are:— Auckland Roller Skating Club * • A.r.
