Three teams from Wellington Athletic Club travelled to Sandown to compete in the Athletics Victoria Road Relay events on the motor raceway circuit recently.
Each team member had to run one lap of the track, which is 3.1 kilometres.
Fantastic results were achieved by the under 14 girls, who won their event in very cold and wet conditions. It was the first time these girls had competed in the Wellington colours.
The team comprised of Aaliyah Judilla (who ran a 12:56), Lylah Hiskins (13:43) and Lilijah Deveson (13:54).
The under 20 team placed third, with brilliant running by Ada Hill (11:47), Aleasha Read (12:30) and Debbie Husodo (11:20). Husodo has made a welcome return to competitive running after missing a season due to injury.
The under 18 team placed 11th and comprised Darcy Knowles (12:44), Lily Marazzato (14:46) and Laura Coleman (13:42).
The under 16 girls also put in a strong performance, placing seventh. Runners for this team were Cassie Farley (11:35), Emily Kanavan (13:08) and Charlotte Cunningham (14:47).
