XCR Round 10 – Tan Relays

September 22, 2019

It was a good day for Box Hill at the Tan in the final event of the XCR ’19 season, with a win in the women’s Division 2 competition, 2nd place to our Premier Division men and Over 50 women and third place to the Over 50 men, the Under 20 men, the Under 20 women and the Under 16 men.
Despite several withdrawals from our Premier Division men’s team, the team ran very well to put our team in contention all the way and finish a close 2nd. Special mention to Adrian Potter, who ran a brilliant first leg in the fast time of 10:49 for his lap of the Tan and to 16 year Doug Buckeridge, who stepped up to the open Premier Division team and held his own against older more experienced opponents.

Our Division 2 women’s team were clear winners and cemented their place on top of the ladder and will now be promoted back to the Premier division next year.

XCR’19 Premierships 
Congratulations to our Women’s Division 2 team, Women over 50 and Men over 50,  who all won XCR’19 premierships.
Our men’s Premier division team also performed extremely well this year. Having won four of the last five premierships, we encountered tough opposition and some back luck throughout the year to finish in second place
Let’s hope that we can get back on top next year.
