BOX HILL TRIUMPH AT SANDOWN ROAD RELAYS

Box Hill won a thrilling race in the men’s premier division road relay championships at Sandown race course on Saturday. Despite missing three of our top runners a gutsy even team effort was enough to bring Box Hill to a narrow lead after five of the six relay legs and Steve Dinneen did the job on the last leg to carry off a convincing win. Congratulations to Nick Baggott, Matt O’Donnell, James O’Connell, Peter Green, Andre Waring and Steve Dinneen on a great team performance.

On a brilliant day for the Box Hill men, we also won the youngest age group, with Connor Ogilvie, Murray Lovass and Mac Anderson winning the U14 race, and the oldest age group as John Meagher, Peter Stefanos and Garth Calder grabbing gold in the Over 50s event.

We also had several near misses with our U20 team (Alex Ritchie, Carlos Norman and Sam Rattray), Under 18 (Darcy Powne, Lucas Pamminger and Scott McKenzie) and Over 40s (Chris Bradford, Tony Langelaan and Anthony Whitby) all winning silver medals.

A special thanks to Megan Sloane, Francis Pamminger, Graeme Olden and Rachel Johnson who helped with officiating and all those who helped as time keepers.
