The decision by University of Canterbury not to enter late a
strong women’s A team, left the way for New Brighton A team to take the title. Robin Miles, the lead-off runner for Olympic, took fastest time of 12:22 for the four by 3km relay. ' New Brighton was not at full strength either, because Sue Bruce was running for New Zealand at the Australian Secondary School Cross-Country Championships in Tasmania.
