FEILDING MOA... hOT OFF THE PRESS!


Two wins for Feilding Moa at the Shaw Baton Cross Country Relay, Battle Hill Farm Park, Paekakariki 


This 4 x 2 kilometre cross country relay is always hotly contested by the big Wellington clubs. This year Feilding Moa Harriers sent 5 teams and were rewarded with vitories in the Womens 19 and Boys 11 grades. What is even more amaizng is that the oldest member of this this winning Women 19 team of Kara Macdermid, Zia Macdermid, Elizabeth Stannard and Jharna Melbourne is just 14 years old. Going to press, times were still unofficial, but should Kara's 2km lap of 7:17 be ratified, it would equal the Senior womens record held by London Olympics bound triathlete Kate McIlroy in 2002.

The Boys 11 team of Noah Macdermid, Samuel Phillips, Benjamin Wall and Liam Wall finished in 32 minutes 46 seconds and not only won their grade but showed a clean set of heels to many of the older aged runners competing at the same time. Two Girls 13 teams competed well, with one of these teams only 5 seconds off third place. They will all be richer from the experience of competing in such a large field of similar aged runners. Team manager Peter Blackwood comments from other clubs were amazed at the number and quality of runners from felding and the loud and proud team spirit as they cheered their team members along.

Feilding Moa Results: W19 1st 31:25, Kara Macdermid 7:17; Elizabeth Stannard 8:02; Jharna Melbourne 8:30; Zia Macdermid 7:36. Girls 13 Moa A 4th 36:22, Bridget Henson 9:31; Giorgi van Lienan 8:50; Jessica Gleeson 9:06; Monique Whiteman 8:55; G13 Moa B 40:23 Tulin Pritchard 9:53; Melissa Blackwood 9:37; Courtney Story 10:24; Georgia Whiteman 10:09. Boys 11 1st 32:46, Noah Macdermid 7:41; Sam Phillips 8:08; Liam Wall 8:47; Benjamin Wall 8:10.

As you know, Greg Oldridge had a heart attack shortly after the Woodruffe Cross Country race on 28th May-11. He is fortunate to have come through the ordeal well and even got out for a 40 minute run just 3 weeks later. However, over to the side you can see a pic of his running spikes, sadly found abandoned about 1km from the finish line at Woodruffes. No photoshop or trick photography either!

This year we have introduced the Minimoa grade of 8's and under and 11 took part in the inaugural race including several under 5's. They ran about half the distance of the older children and looked to have had a great time. We certainly enjoyed cheering them along.

2009 FEILDING MOA Annual Prizegiving

Congratulations to the 2009 winners:


Boys, BA Wilson Cup, KARL WERNER

Colts, Galbraith Cup,  FLETCHER HORSFIELD

Senior Men, Lamberton Shield, PAUL WASLEY


Girls,  Russell Cup, GENEA HILL

Junior Women, Salisbury Cup, KRISTIE HYDE

Senior Women, Way Cup,       SANDI PEARSON


The Handicap trophies represent both consistency of effort and attendance throughout the season.



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

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

Held at Waikanae in conjunction with the Wellington Champs, Feilding Moa was well represented and were successful in taking a number of championship titles. Highlights from the wet day included:

  • 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!
