Bacchus Marsh Little Athletics
Week 10 of the Centre Cross Country season saw athletes return to Myrniong Reserve for their weekly competition. The Under 7 and 8 athletes were the first race for the morning. Melton team-mates Harry Wark and Fletcher Reid led the field out over the 1km course with Bacchus Marsh’s Emilia Ibrahim following closely. Fletcher and Harry were neck and neck at the halfway mark but in the later stages of the race Fletcher had opened up a slight gap on the field with Emilia slipping into 2nd place. Once again Fletcher finished strongly to take line honours, with Emilia holding onto 2nd (1st girl) and Harry claiming 3rd overall. Athletes continue to improve as the season progresses and this race saw 90 per cent of athletes record PBs – Fletcher Reid (Melton), Emilia Ibrahim (BM), Harry Wark (Melton), Harry Johansen (BM), Patrick Delaney (BM), Archie Clarke (BM), Emmy Foley (BM) and Charlotte Delaney (BM). The Open age athletes lined up on the start line next for their 3km event; three laps of the 1km course. A slip on the start line did not deter Under 13 athlete, Alexis Johnston (BM) from stamping her authority on the rest of the field and setting the fast early
pace. Mackenzie Estlick (BM) battled hard throughout the race to remain in touch with the lead, but Alexis, in only her second race for the season, proved far too strong to claim victory in a time of 13:15.48 mins. Both Alexis and Mackenzie recorded PBs while Emma Stewart notched up a whopping 34 seconds PB. Braydn Rich also recorded a big PB. A small field of Under 11 & 12 girls contested the 2km event. Melton’s Mataya Leetham was quick off the start line and was determined to claim her first overall win for the season. Not only did she claim the victory, Mataya sliced over 25 seconds off her previous best time. Myah Estlick (BM) was next home with Louisa Christians (Melton) running a sensational race to finish in 3rd place and record another PB. The Under 9/10 athletes contested the 1500 metre race which consisted of a 500m loop followed by the 1km course. Iyla Robinson (BM) continues to progress over the 1500m distance taking victory with a PB time of 6:10.10 mins. Iyla will be one to watch in the upcoming Region Championships and will be vying for a top place at both the Little Aths and Schools State Championships next month. Under 9 athlete Joshua Askew also
Under 7 & 8 athletes off to a quick start. Photo - submitted ran a PB and was the first boy across the finish line. Mitchell Tung (BM), who always gives 100 per cent in his races, was rewarded with a PB result as was Mackenzie Delaney (BM). Our enthusiastic Under 6s were the final race of the meet. The keen athletes took off quickly and were setting a fast pace, thanks to the early downhill, but it wasn’t long before the fast start took its toll on a few
of the athletes. Melton’s Mckinley Wilson showed her strength over the 500m course and recorded, yet another victory. A fastfinishing Bowie Clarke ran out of distance but was closing quickly to finish in 2nd place while Hayden Tung, who like his older brother, leaves everything on the track and was rewarded with a top three finish. This Saturday - Cross Country meet with be held at Lake Dewar, Myrniong.
Teen scores first metro win By Michael Howard (HRV)

It was a big night for Abby Sanderson at Shepparton last Saturday, a young driver who took the reins for the first time in a metropolitan race and – true to her recent form – delivered another winner. Sanderson was in complete control of the Barastoc Pace, working to the front on Julie Douglas’s Mighty Flying Art and then switching off through a 31.4-second second quarter. The well-paced breather left her six-year-old gelding with plenty in the tank for a 27.5-second last quarter and he held out Cool Rocking Daddy to score. “It’s my first metro meeting and I’m really excited,” Sanderson told TrotsVision. “It was good that he drew barrier one, knowing he had a lot of gate speed and the small field helped him out. “When Struve went back at the start I knew I would take some running down because he would have to catch me. It
was good that I could get that cheap quarter and it made it hard for him.” Leading into the night the 17-year-old had produced 13 wins across 178 starts but none as rich as the night’s $20,000 pace for horses rated 78 to 97, which was one of three wins by the Douglas camp at Shepparton. They also scored with Would You Mind, who was ultra impressive in winning the ID22 Heats @ Shepparton Claiming Pace, running past favourite Sicario. Ellen Tormey was in the sulky and then she paired with Douglas for more success in the Neatline Homes Pace, with brilliant pacing warrior Bernie Winkle registering a 58th win courtesy of a trademark sprint lane burst. Sanderson credited the Douglas team for giving her terrific support. “They’ve been great – Glenn, Julie, Eric (Anderson) all the team,” she said. “They’ve been really good and give you a good opportunity.”
