Caversham Relays - Round 2
Grant Koedyk — May 16, 2018
We had another great day out at the Caversham Harriers Relay, the first of our Team Relay Races. The runners were all eager and, as it was also the OBHS Interschool, they were keen to perform well.
The Senior team of William Scharpf, Finn Ward, George Bates and Drew Cairney ran very well. Each member extended the lead that William had set up on the first lap, leaving Drew to hold off a fast-chasing Nathan Hill, OBHS' last runner, which he managed to do by 30 seconds.
We then waited for the Junior Team of Spencer Gable, Ezekiel Stewart, Harry Mason and Ollie Young to finish. These runners ran their hearts out to finish a close 3rd.
So the Interschool was a draw in the Cross Country.
Overall the King’s teams ran very well, finishing 1st, 6th and 8th in the Under 19 Grade. In the Under 15 Grade we came 3rd, 6th and 8th as well. A very enjoyable afternoon and we are looking forward to the Otago/Southland Relays in Milton next week.
