14th August 2010 Turkey Trot  Results
With the Palmerston North half marathon the next day many of those doing the Turkey Trot treated it is a lighter prep run. And judging by the excellent results in palmerston North on the 15th, that prep was just about spot on (see Right). Winner of the Turkey for closest to estimated time was Victoria Sugden, 5 seonds out for 6km. Furtherest from the mark, and winner of the "legs" was first time attendee Sean Kelly - welcome to Moa!

7th August NZ Cross Country Champs
Moa athletes scooped up 4 individual medals and helped Manawatu-Wanganui to 2 teams medals at the NZ Cross Country champs in Waikanae on 7th August.

GIRLS 14, 3km: The much anticipated clash between NZ jnunior secondary schools champ Jean Kozyniak, 2010 North Island cross country champion Susannah Lynch and Feilding Moa's Kara Macdermid ( a year 8 student so wasn't competing at the NZSSA), resulted in victory by a wide margin to Kara. Her time of 10 minutes 21 seconds was a stunning display of front running and a deserved GOLD MEDAL performance.

kara went out strongly from the start with the leading pack, content to settle in 2-3rd position for the first 500 metres. As the race entered the undulating bush track she took the lead and used the short hills and winding trails to her advantage to soon had the race in control. The announcer was expecting Kozyniak or Lynch to emerge from the bush trail back into the open at the 1km mark so was left lost for a name as Kara came by with daylight back to second. In the following 2km she extended the lead and as she leapt the final barrier and started the 300m downhill to the finish line there was no doubt of her victory. Kara remains eligible for this grade next year, or maybe she will step up to the W16 and give them a fright?

Other medals won by:
John Thomson, bronze in the Masters Men 60-64
Wendy Cottrell-Teahan, bronze in the Masters women 40-44
Zia Macdermid, Silver in the Girls 12 2000m - winning a vigorous sprint to the line which left her absolutely legless for a few moments after.

Teams: The M16 team which included Damien Lardner and Joshua Hughes took bronze as did the Masters women team with Moa's Wendy, Lisa Kuhnert, Katherine Stannard and Paula Condor from Wanganui.

Moa times/placings:
masters men 8km: M35 Steve Stannard 4th 29.09; M50 Rob Dabb 7th 32:57; M60 John Thomson 3rd 33:59; Roger Woodruffe 4th 40:17
masters women 6km: W40 Wendy Cottrell-Teahan 3rd 25:03; Lisa Kuhnert 6th 28:06; W45 Katherine Stannard 5th 29:16
men 16 6km: Joshua Hughes 26th 23:43; Damien Lardner 31st 25:06
Women 16 4km: Stephanie Dickins 17th 17:03; Eilysh Burney 21st 17:29
Boys 14 3km: Nate Levin 5th 9:52 (superb time for 3km!)
Girls 14 3km: Kara Macdermid 1st 10:21; Elizabeth Stannard 9th 11:28
Boys 12 2km: Robert Stannard 11th, 8:09.
Girls 12 2km: Zia Macdermid 2nd 7:33
Boys 10, 1km: Noah Macdermid 2nd ( a non-championship race but never-the-less a great run and surely a name to watch in the future.

Senior Men, Lamberton Shield, PAUL WASLEY


Girls,  Russell Cup, GENEA HILL

Junior Women, Salisbury Cup, KRISTIE HYDE

2009 Club Champions


Paul Macdermid was clearly out to have his name engraved on the Mens championship trophy, covering the first kilometre of the 10km road race in a blistering 3 minutes 10 seconds with Craig McLean seven seconds back and Maria Bentley on his shoulder.


Positions remained that way to the finish on the Beaconsfield Valley Rd out and back course, which provides an ascent/descent of around 60 metres. Macdermid won in 34 minutes 21 seconds, just over a minute ahead of McLean and Maria Bentley in a smart time of 36:10.


The colts, junior women and women had a combined start in their respective 5km championships.

Fletcher Horsfield led out for the first 5km with Stephanie Dickins best of the rest to half way. Positions soon changed with Wendy Cottrell-Teahan putting in a change of pace from half way, pushing Horsfield all the way to the line but not quite catching him. Stephanie Dickins was the best of the rest in winning the junior womens trophy.


In the under-14 championship, the Macdermid name will be engraved on to two more trophies. Kara Macdermid won the girls grade convincingly in 11 minutes 23 seconds while younger brother Noah took out the boys race half a minute ahead of Karl Werner.


18th July 2009 Halcombe Relays            

Congratulations to Palmerston North Harriers mens team on fastest time overall and just 25 seconds short of the course record.

And the Flymoa's (Moa womens team) set a new course record for women, taking over 3 minutes off the previous best for a womens team. Nick Berry (Wanganui) established a new lap record on leg 3 of 16:57, a whopping 36 seconds faster than John Mudgways previous record (and John is no slouch). Full results on the Results page


4th July 2009 North Island Cross country.

Read about the three medals to Moa's in the Results page. Huge fields and quality running all round so great to see the Moa singlet to the fore in many of the races. On overall points Moa were 14th out of 45 clubs participating - ans excellent result for a small team.


27TH JUNE 2009 MOA CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP

Congratulations to the 2009 cross country champions:

BOYS UNDER 14:   Jack Cartridge    

GIRLS UNDER 14:   Kara Macdermid

COLTS:                Fletcher Horsfield            

JUNIOR WOMEN:    Stephanie Dickins

SENIOR WOMEN:    Sandy Pearson 

SENIOR MEN:         Paul Macdermid


Conditions could not have been better for the Feilding Moa cross country championships held at David & Andrea Thomson's Kiwitea farm on Saturday 27 June. Rain held off and ground conditions were firm and fast.


The open mens 9km race was won by one of our newer members, Paul Macdermid who had to fend off a determined challenge from Steve Stannard. They were neck and neck most of the way and it was only in the final 1200 metres that Macdermid got awayto record a 31 seconds victory. The race for third and fourth was equally close with Rob Dabb just managing to hold back the persistent challenge of Dave Walters over the final 3km.


One of the days best performances was the win by Kara Macdermid in the under 14 girls race. Her time of 12 minutes 9 seconds was exceptional and she should be very hard to beat at the North Island cross country championships in Taupo next weekend. See Results page for full details including sealed handicap placings

 


The 2009 season was Opened by club Patron Bruce Wilson (a member since 1951, the chap about 4th from the left, who looks a bit like Father Christmas)  on 28th March at our new clubrooms, Timona Park.

Feilding Moa 2008 Annual Awards

Club Person of The Year: Greg Oldridge

Since Greg joined the club several years ago he has always been prepared to offer ideas for improvement and back those up by doing more than his share in the background. Greg helped initiate the monthly Moa newsletter and has continued to edit it each month as well as write much of the copy. He also helped get the Wednesday 6pm club runs going and is perhaps the most regular of all attendees. From a handful in the first few months we regularly get a dozen or so athletes out for this enjoyable pack run. I could go on further, about BBQ's and jokes etc... but all in all Greg is a most deserving recipient of this years award and a great example of a true “club” person.


Most Improved Girl: Kaitlin McDonald

Most Improved Boy: Jared Greenfield

Kaitlin and Jared both started the season a it tentatively, coerced no doubt by their parents, and not too sure how they would enjoy the running. But both in their own way have gone from strength to strength during the year so perhaps no coincidence that they also won the respective trophy for overall handicap points. We hope to see you both back next season and see see your ongoing enthusiasm and improvement.


Overall Handicap Points for cross country and road races:


Boys: 1. Jared Greenfield; 2. Tim Sheehan; 3. Carl Werner

Girls: 1. Kaitlin McDonald; 2. Genea Hill; 3. Georgia Hill

Junior Women: 1. Stephanie Dickins; 2. Ariana Blackwood; 3. Kristy Hyde

Junior Men: 1. Cameron McNaught; 2. Nathaneal Robinson; 3. Ezra Robinson

Women: 1. Helen Dickins; 2. Debra Arnold; 3. Wendy Cottrell-Teahan

Men: 1. Paul Wasley; 2. Murray Greenfield; 3. Roy Homewood


Consistent attendance and a steady improvement across the season are required to secure the much sought after handicap Points trophies at Feilding Moa. It can be difficult for the fastest runner in a grade to hold their own on points – as they are constantly re-handicapped on performance. So it is a quite a significant achievement for Stephanie Dickins to win the Moa cross country champs, road champs and the handicap points in the junior women's grade. To cap this off, Stephanie also won the NZ Secondary Schools cross country junior girls title and secured a bronze medal at the NZ Cross Country Championships. A great season.


 

Feilding Moa Athlete earns another National medal

At the NZ Road Champs on 6th September Wendy Cottrel-Teahan was second in the Masters Women 35-39 race over 5km in a time of 18 minutes 34 seconds. This adds to her similar placing at the NZ cross country champs earlier in the season.

 

13th September 2008 Marton-Wanganui Relay

Moa had four teams participate in the 66.37km journey from Marton to Wanganui via the Turakina Valley, Kaungaroa and Fordell.

There was intense rivalry the whole distance between Peter Griffins "Motormoas" and Bruce Mulcocks "Mowers", with the lead being exchanged several times. On the penultimate leg, Peter Griffin showed true team captain spirit by turning a 1min21sec deficit into a 1:06 lead. Young Raquel Lopez then did her job by staying ahead of Cath Laird over the final leg to record a well deserved fourth place overall for the Motormoas. See Results page for more detail

 

MOA'S WIN MEDALS AT 2008 NZ CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPS 2nd August

Feilding Moa was well represented at the NZ Cross Country Champs held at Waikanae on Saturday 1st August. Highlights included a silver medal to Wendy Cottrell-Teahan in the Masters women 35-39 grade and a bronze to Stephanie Dickins in the Girls 14. For full results see the Results page.


 

19th July 2008 Manawatu-Wanganui Cross Country Champs

  • David Martin leading the sprint start of the large number of 9 year olds on their 1.5km race - and staying in that position until the finish in a superb time of 5:17
  • Wendy Cottrel-Teahan leading the Masters Women 6km for all but the final hill, finishing second overall (1st AMW) by just 5-seconds
  • Stephanie Dickins gaining 60-70 metre over the last 400 metres to take 2nd place overall in the G13 and win the AMW title
  • Cameron McNaught defeating some key rivals to narrowly win the AMW title - and finishing ahead of Melissa Moon as well!

30th Jan-2010
A clutch of Moa's took part in the 27km road run as part of the 146th Turakina Highland Games. Cameron and Lewis McNaught ran together all the way and  deadheated to take out the fastest time on the very hot day of just over 2hrs 6 minutes and were recepients of a handsome shield. Looks like they were the first Moa to win since Reg Vautier in 1976 (Reg was a 3 time winner, 1970,74 and '76). Lisa Kuhnert won the women's handicap trophy.
Full results available soon on the Wanganui Harrier Club website.
