13th August TURKEY TROT results

Sean Kelly was the best over 9km at just 7 seconds out. I recall this was Seans first run with us last season, and he was a country mile out on estimated time ... come a long way in 12 months. Melissa & Phillipa were best overall, just 5 seconds adrift of her 3km estimated time. Looks like Camryn forgot about his estimate and blasted around the course a full 5 minutes "too fast", although the well seasoned Club President didn't show much on an example by being 4:24 too fast.

6th August Athletics Manawatu Wanganui Road Champs  Click for Results   

Karl Werner was the first Moa to run, and equipped himself well in quite a strong Boys 12 field over 3km. He held on well for a well deserved 3rd place. Wendy Cottrell-Teahan dominated the masters women 5km, winning in a great time of 18:38. Melissa Thorne ran 20:53 in what must have been close to a PB. Ariana Blackwood made a game start in the W19, but had to ease back mid-race, though still finished 2nd. Look for a fast time from Ari at the upcoming NZ Champs. It was an all Moa affair in the Senior Women, starin g with the men for a 10km challenge. Gemma Cartwright fired off a 40:50 (sub-40 can't be far away!) to lead in Andrena Clarke, Charlotte Wall and Victoria Sugden. Moa was well represented in the Masters Men 10km with Rob Dabb and Chris Smith winning their age groups, both sub-40 minutes. Kevin Rolls (55-59) and Roger Woodruffe (65-69) also won their age group. Once agiain a well organised event by Wanganui Harriers with friendly officials and timely results. 

30th July Ferguson Rd Open handicap

Men. women and juniors all did the 7.2km undulating Ferguson Rd/James Rd/Mt Stewart Circuit. A challenging uphill start, followed by a good hill at 3km.but at the least the last 2.3km was all downhill.

Peter Griffin, starting  on 12:40 from Go was able to hit the lead over the last km fro the overall handicap win. While 2nd to 10th place was a rapidly changing scene with just 1 minute separating them. Nick Johnston was the fastest overall, averaging a crisp 3:27/km. Charlotte Wall, 4th overall, won the Womens cup, with fastest womans time going to Melissa Thorne.       See Ferguson Rd Results

9th July: HALCOMBE RELAY interclub event

Great day of fun and competition, and a wind to remeber for those doing Leg 1, 5 & 6. To put the wind in perspective, the fastest times on these 'windy' legs were 1-2 minutes slower than in 2010. No hail or thunder though so gotta be thankful.

Congratulations to Wanganui Harriers (Jules Jokers) on there fastest team time, 5 minutes ahead of one of our Moa teams.  On the Walk front, Manawatu Striders were dominant with the two-person team of Ian Bailey & Lisa Macdonald clicking out a crisp 3 hours 12 minutes.

 

No surpises with the wild conditions that no new lap records were acheived.

 

2nd July North Island Cross Country Champs, Taupo

Feilding Moa take two titles at Taupo

At the 2011 North Island Cross Country Championships on 2^nd July Feilding Moa members won two races and placed a close second in another.

In the Boys 10 year 1000 metres, Noah Macdermid hit the front after 300 metres but was make to work hard all the way to the line by Whakatane's Regan Wilson. Macdermid won by 5 metres in 3 minutes 39 seconds. Clubmate Benjamin Wall was placed 8^th in 3:51.

In the Girls 12 year 2000 metre race featuring Zia Macdermid of Feilding Moa, the race unfolded in a very similar fashion to Noah's, with the lead shared off and on with Rebecca McCafferty of Tauranga. It wasn't until the final 150m sprint to the line that McCafferty managed to extend the lead and win in what was a race record time of 7:15 with Zia a clear second in 7:22 followed by Serena Murrihy of Taumaranui. Of note, these three had raced against each other in the 1000m in 2009 where Murrihy won, MacDermid was second and McCafferty fourth, so very pleasing to see young athletes continuing in the sport and testing each other well.

Kara Macdermid, 13, opted for the more testing 4000m on the Womens 16 & 19 grades combined race. She took an early lead from W19 Kerry White of Te Aroha (the 2010 W16 champion), going through the first 2000m lap in 7:09 20 metres ahead of White. Part way into lap two White took the overall lead and Nicole Mitchell of Wellington (also in the W19 grade) challenged on Kara's shoulder. An excellent sprint finish saw Kara into second place overall and win the W16 title in 15:09 from Anneke Grogan (Tauranga) and Ariana Harper (Wellington).

Other Feilding Moa performances were M50-54 (6000m) : Rob Dabb, 5^th in 24:00; Alan Wall 23^rd 37:22. M65-69 (6000m) Roger Woodruffe 6^th in 30:35. Nate Levin, after leading in the first kilometre, finished 10^th in the B14 3000m in 11:02. In the feature event of the day, the Mens 9000 metre, pre-race favourite, Stephen Lett of Auckland, undefeated so far this cross country season, made his break 5km into the race and held off some fast finishers to win in 28:35. Moa's in that event were 23^rd Paul Macdermid 32:13; 26^th Nicholas Johnston 32:55 and 31^st Quentin Copley 34:03

28th May - 57th Woodruffe Cup, Click results

 

This event has been held at Woodruffes farm since 1954, a year that Lawrie Woodruffe, who ran in it, recalls was the wettest he has ever seen before or since on the farm. "The rain was fair bucketing down and water was rolling off the hills in sheets".

 

Lawrie, now in his late seventies no longer runs but a scan of the Woodruffe Cup shows he won it in 1960,61,62, 64, 1986, and also in 1994 – an impressive 35 year spread of successful performances. 

 

The course on Saturday was described as "soft and sticky, suiting the lightweights" and included six gates and two water hazards per 3.5km lap. (a bit further than the advertised 3km per lap due to a late change to fit in with farming practices).

 

The open handicap format saw Wendy Cottrell-Teahan give a 19 minute 30 second headstart to those runners off "go" in the womens 7km race. She set about the task of steadily reeling in the field , finally taking the lead in the last kilometre. Katherine Stannard and Melissa Thorne had a close finish for second and third.

 

Nate Levin, the sole junior man to run recorded the fastest 7km of the day in 30:54. A good field of Junior Women also did the 7km route, and in a similar outcome to the womens race, backmarker Elizabeth Stannard, overcame a 19:30 handicap to win, with Stephanie Dickins 23 seconds away. This pair recently won their respective age groups at the Manawatu Secondary Schools cross country champs.

 

The mens 10.5km race had 26 face the handicap start. Backmarker was Steve Stannard on 30 minutes 10 seconds. And it was nearly another case of the backmarker beating the field, Stannard coming in second, just 9 seconds adrift of Nick Johnston – running off a 28:10 handicap. This is Nicks first season with Moa and his first trophy. He also won this years Feilding Half Marathon. Todd O'Carroll worked hard off his 12 minute handicap to keep the rest of the field at bay, only just being pipped near the line by visitor Will O'Connor, who had started with a 29:10 handicap.

16 April McNaughts scratch cross country  RESULTS

Drizzly rain to begin with turned to heavy showers during the recent Feilding Moa Harrier cross country race held at Ian James Lethbridge Rd farm. The 2km circuit became greasy underfoot in the latter stages of the senior races, with those wearing spikes gaining a distinct advantage.

The juniors and women 4km race saw new members Gemma Cartwright and Giorgie Miller-Thevenard go through the first lap together. Cartwright, in the senior womens grade, was only able to outkick Giorgie on the final downhill for a narrow victory. Giorgie won the junior womens grade

The mens race included one of the natural hazards of cross country running – a mob of heifers found the course markers irresistable to lick and dislodge, making the marked route harder to find. Quentin Copley, leading at the time, lost a bit of ground while figuring the course out, however composed himself and still went on to win a minute clear of Hamish Meacheam. Dave Walters, Chris Smith and Rob Dabb all followed close behind.

2010 race reports and results 

 

2nd October 2010 National Road Relay report. Silver medal for Moa!

Feilding Moa were represented by 2 composite teams and a Mens 40-49 team on the picturesque 76.1km route around northern Taranaki, starting  and finishing at Inglewood. One of our composite teams, comprising of 6 runners 18 or under took out a silver medal. Awesome. Moa Team results are here

Lap by lap account from the Masters Men 40-49 team:

Lap 1: Ron Werner got us away to a great start, targeting 4:30/km he burnt up the first 5km inside 21 minutes. Despite an uphill finish to grind out he came in well under target by 1.5 minutes

Lap 2: Kevin Palmer was lucky to secure this lap which Rob had named "The Flyer" due to the downhill start and downhill finish. All was looking OK and Kev was gaining on an Energy City runner until 6.5km and this dirty great 1km+ long hill reared up. Can't remember seeing that in the notes! Meanwhile, about 400m back the Olympic and Hutt Valley womens team members were running neck and neck making ground. The last 2km was down about as steep as the up had been. The girls cruised up onto Kev's shoulder inside the last 400m but a determined finish saw him keep them at bay.

lap 3: The Toughie, 11.3km. Adrian Henderson looked like a good strong bloke to tackle this. The first hill came and went and he was looking strong at 4km in just over 4 minutes/km. The second hill was a bit harder but still holding his own, the 3rd hill was a doozie, including a tunnel half way up, and he was 35 secs down on Olympic while Sara Gardner from Hutt Valley was eating up the road like it wa sa series of 400m reps - a stunning run we thought. As we wated at transition for Adrian to finish, vans from the first Senior Men's A teams were turning up, those teams tarted 40 minutes behind us so were obviously now not far behind. Adrian turned in a very respectable 49:44 for the toughest and longest lap of the day.

Lap 4: Paul Bond got underway, aiming to pull in Olympic women who were now 46 sec ahead of us. Four minutes after him the Pakuranga mens team started the same lap, with New Brighton 10 metres behind and Canterbury University a further 200m back. Paul close the gap on Olympic to 25 sec, and when the Pakuranga runner went past, he upped his game and matched him stride for stride. Real good stuff, well for 150m anyway! That mid-lap flurry perhaps took its toll, with the Olympic girl regaining the gap to around 50 sec by the end of the leg.

Lap 5: The Long Drop, named because of a gully a km or two into the run; this was Peter Turner's last serious workout before his first marathon at Masterton on 10th October. But what goes down must go up, so after the downhill, it crossed the historic Bertrand Rd suspension bridge into a stiff climb. Pete held his own though and hit the 5km mark in 22:15 and was looking good - but feelig like crap. Rob earned a wooden spoon nomination then, thinking this was an 8.2km lap, he confidently told Pete "just 3km to go". A few moments kater the penny dropped, whoops, this was in fact a 10.8km, so 3km later Pete got the same news "3km to go". .. that sort of news doesn't really inspire a lift in tempo. Sorry Pete!

Lap 6: While we waited for Pete, Kevin P got an icecream at the dairy, Chris warmed up by chatting up the Olympic girls, Rob had a nervous one at the local hall and we saw the traffic management truck arriving - an ominous sign that now all te esenior mens teams had blasted by, we were likely the tail end charlie team. Mmm time for some navel gazing. Anyway, Pete finished the last 2km long straight creditably, collapsed in a heap, and Chris Smith set off on his 8.2km leg trying to close up a 5min 37 gap on the Olympic girls. And he flew along too. As the clock ticked past 4 hours, gap was now just 3:53 behind. By laps end Olympic women had caught up a Scottosh womens team and Chris came around the corner just 2 minutes down on them.

Lap 7: This leg started Outside the Sentry Hill winery - Kevin Rolls, the elder stateman of the team, took over the chase from Chris while Kevin Palmer was sampling the fruit wines. Once KP got his brown paper bag we headed off in support of Kev. In no time at all he had reeled in the Scottish woman, but the Olympic girl was going quite well, buit the gap slowly closed. With about 2km to go he was just 20 sec down. Rob, who was to run the final lap urged Kev to hit the gas and close the gap. He quipped: "I'll take 10 seconds, leave the other 10 for you". The last km of this lap was downhill and Kev responded well, shot past Olympic and handed Rob a 20-30 sec gap. Thanks Kev.

Lap 8: Rob Dabb turned up Friday night with a wheezing cough and injured back that made movement difficult. Popping pain killer pills like lollies all day and puffing on an inhaler got him on the start line though and 4 minutes adrift of our next "target" the Hutt valley women who had surged by us on Lap 3. After 3km or so the gap was 3 minutes and shortly after Rob could see the orange singlet half a km or so ahead. Hutt Valley were getting worried. At the top of the next hill we were 90 sec behind, one hill later just 70 meters to close and hit the front with 3km left to run. Inglewood loomed close and after a short run through town, the "Glory Lap" finished with 300 mteres around the athletics track. Total time 5hrs 34 minutes - pretty close to our pre-race estimate of 5hrs 30 min.

Highlights from the other teams:

Mark Searle from Palmerston North Athletics stepped in to fill a gap in the Composite team. His run on leg 2 was an impressive 3:40/km - and remember this was the lap with a solid 1km long hill part way through. This undoubtedly helped the team stay in touch right to lap 8 and be in a medal challenging position.

Wendy Cottrell-Teahan made mincemeat of leg 3, The Toughie, soaring past many a masters men team. Her time of 46min 51 sec only eclipsed Dave Walters time on the same leg by 1 second - top laps guys!

The Composite team included Elizabeth (13) and Robert Stannard (12) sharing the 10.8km lap 5. Both put in great performances, averaging 4:22/km and certainly turned a few older and taller heads.

Newest Moa, Vanessa Story, normally a 100m-400m sprinter, took on Lap 6 for the women. A niggling hamstring got more and more niggly but she wouldn't give in. Meanwhile at the Sentry Hill winery Deb Lardner was doing her warmup on another side road - glancing over her shoulder she saw Vanessa crest the last hill with only 150m to go - but that's about how far away Deb was from transition too! There followed a comical sprint to the line, Moa vs Moa, which had the time keepers confused, but was won by Vanessa with Deb carrying on to start her lap.

Silver Medal for Moa!

Daniel Pinkney ran the last lap for the Composite team, and soon chewed thru' the field in front of him to bring the team into the silver medal place in the Composite grade - the first podium finish Moa has had in a national road relay for many many years

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.

 

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

17th July 2010 Moa Cross Country Champs  Results here
Fine, firm and fast was the best description of conditions at this years Feilding Moa cross country championship held at Thomson's farm. Kiwitea.

2010 Club Cross Country Champions are:
Boys Under 14, Nate Levin   Girls Under-14, Kara Macdermid
Colts, Damien Lardner         Junior women, Stephanie Dickins
Men, Paul Wasley               Women, Wendy Cottrell-Teahan

Closest race was in the Colts, where Damien Lardner held off Joshua Hughes by 11 seconds after being level at the half way stage.

An anticipated close Senior Mens race between Paul Wasley, Damien Howe and Rob Dabb saw them close together after the first of 3 laps, then Wasley spoiled the close contest by drawing away and winning by nearly a minute. Rob Dabb was 2nd and Howe 3rd.

Sealed Handicap: Two "bolters" from the pack, Deb Lardner and Steve Butcher, will no doubt receive more attention from the handicappers from now on after turning in their best performance season to date in the women and mens events respectively. Steve commented that perhaps doing a warm up for a change made the difference!

29th May Hughes Memorial, Hawera  Full Results

Only cross country runners and ducks ventured out this Saurday at Hawera. It rained at the start, drizzled in the middle and hosed down at the end. One section of the course comprised a 100-metre  deep mud-soaked downhill slalom where we as much skied down as run! Purists love this type of course!

Moa's did extremely well: 5 x 1st, 6 x 2nd and 4 x 3rd placings.

15 May Vautier Cups Sealed handicap

 

Full results click here

 

Regarded as one of the toughest courses on the local calendea, the 2.5km circuit includes two high fences to scale and a 70 metre hill to climb.

The under 14 year old boys and girls grades raced first over one lap. An enthusiastic fast start saw several runners in contention as they scaled the first fence and commenced the hill climb. Some fell off the pace as gravity started to have its say while Zia Macdermid and Robert Stannard reached the summit first. Zia dominated the fast downhill section to win line honours and also secure the cup for best girl on sealed handicap. Robert was second and also won the boys sealed handicap cup.

The women and juniors contested two laps. Fastest time went to an under-14 runner, Kara Macdermid in 21:25 just ahead of the colt Joshua Hughes in 21:30 and first time runner Nate Levin in 21:48. Sealed handicap cup for women went to ex-Wellington Olympic runner Victoria Sugden, in her first year studying sport at UCOL. Stephanie Dickins won the junior women cup and Joshua Hughes the colts.

The mens race was 10km, meaning four times up the hill. It saw an interesting match up with Steve Stannard and Paul Macdermid facing off for thr first time this season. They were through the first lap together in a swift 9:42. Stannards more regular racing started to show and with a 9:56 second lap established a 100 metre plus lead. He doubled this on the penultimate lap, and while Macdermid ran 20 seconds quicker than Stannard over the final lap, the gap was too big to close out. The Vautier Cup for sealed handicap was won by one of the "journeymen" of the sport, Roy Homewood, whose much improved run resulted in a win 22 seconds ahead of John Thomson.

1st May 2010 Handicap cross country race
At Banner's farm, Junction Rd West, Stanway.

While there was firm conditions underfoot rather than mud, this made it a bit just as tricky/technical due to the lumpy nature of the land,which like most in the region had got quite wet and therefore uneven in the spring. Two steady hills for lap kept the sweat flowing freely - great feeling though when the last hill was behind us! We welcomed a good number of first time runners, some who had never run a  farm course before -  we hope to see you all again.  Full results

24-25th April Relay Action

The weekend of 24-25^th April saw Feilding Moa relay teams in plenty of action.
 
On Saturday our junior women (aged 10-15, with an average of 13.75 years) competed against the best Women 19 teams in the Wellington region at the Shaw Baton Relay held at Battle Hill regional park near Pautahanui. An excellent first 2.1km leg by Kara Macdermid, with the second quickest W19 lap of 7 minutes 28 seconds (and quicker than all but two of the senior women) had the team handily placed among the leading bunch. Her team mates Ariana Blackwood, Zia Macdermid and Stephanie Dickins did their tasks well to bring the team through to deserved 3^rd place. The prescence of diminutive ten year old Zia Madermid on the start line caused a few sniggers from older and taller girls. This soon changed to gasps for breath as she out ran many of them.
 
On Sunday Fielding Moa had four teams at the ANZAC Day Relays in Wanganui with the women defending the title won here last year. Stephanie Dickins led the field through by 34 seconds on lap one, Hannah Tichbon ran well but a narrow lead was surrendered to Wanganui High School. Lisa Kuhnert closed the gap to 13 seconds, handing the baton to Ariana Blackwood to attempt to reel in the leaders. Ariana made good ground on the first half, then the effects of a fall at Shaw Baton and a busy weekend of racing set in and she started to slow up. Meanwhile the Palmerston North team, anchored by the well-performed Samantha Blanche, caught whiff of a chance to catch us. At the final barrier around 200 metres from the finish Blanche caught up with Ariana and looked to secure second place. Ariana, however, had other ideas and dug very deep for a wonderful sprint all the way to the line to retain second place.
 
The Palmerston North mens team constructed a fine relay to come from mid-pack after the first leg to take the lead on the penultimate lap after a quick lap from Andrew Davenport. Andrea Brehm, better know as a 400m hurdler, was not about to let his team down and completed a good lap to secure victory.

Race Report:The first Fielding Moa cross country race of the season held on a  2.5km circuit at Timona Park, Feilding. Conditions were warm & sunny and very firm underfoot. The Under-14’s race saw a sprint finish between the boys winner, Robert Stannard, and girls winner, Zia Macdermid. Robert winning by a narrow margin.
 
The junior women’s 5km event included two thirteen year olds, Kara Macdermid and Elizabeth Stannard opting for the longer challenge. Macdermid ran away to a convincing win in 20 minutes 30 seconds with Stephanie Dickins in second place. Dickins is only just re-building her base of distance running after a very successful track season over shorter distance, culminating in winning the 300m hurdles (womens 16) at the NZ Athletics Champs two weeks ago.
 
The womens was won by Katherine Stannard  – although nearly a minute behind her daughter Elizabeth – followed by Wendy Cottrell-Teahan.
 
In the three lap mens race, 7.5km, Steve Stannard and Damian Howe led through the first couple of kilometers, soon being joined by Shane Reed. By the start of the final lap, it was between Reed and Stannard who were locked together. Reed recently came 5^th in the New Zealand 100km champs at Taupo, and perhaps that base of strength came to the fore over the closing stages allowing him to pull out a 9 second win.
 
The “Muddling Moa of the Week” wooden spoon was awarded to Shirley and Raewyne for being able to sustain a steady chatter of conversation the entire distance.

Boys Under 10, 1.6km Noah Macdermid of Feilding Moa quickly went to the lead alongside Harrison Porrit from Pahiatua.

Noah Macdermid (Feilding Moa) 6:25; 2. Harrison Porritt (Bush) 6:39; 3. Thomas Condor (Wanganui) 6:40; 4. Karl Werner (Moa) 6;41.

Girls Under 12, 3km was won by Zia Macdermid (Moa) in a great time for such a young athlete of 11:43. Jarna Melbourne of Palmerston North, in her debut road race was next.
1. Zia Macdermid (Moa) 11:43; 2. Jarna Melbourne (PNAHC) 12:33; 3. Melissa Blackwood (Moa) 15:06

She was matched stride for stride over the first half of the race by boys 14 winner Liam Woolford (Palmerston North). Turning in 5:28, she showed a lot of spirit to finish in 11:01 given the slight uphill gradient on the second half.

The Masters women and girls 16 were combined in a 5km race, making for some excellent racing. As expected, Wendy Cottrell-Teahan (Moa) dominated the race and was never really challenged on her way to a 19:08 win. Behind her a group of five runners were locked together for the first half of the race until G16 Ariana Blackwood (Moa) pushed the pace and made a gap of 20 metres. Team mate Stephanie Dickins challenge was curtailed by getting a bad stitch at about the same time, however she recovered well to take second place behind Blackwood in the girls 16. Meanwhile, the race for second place in the masters women saw Sandy Pearson (Moa) and Paula Condor (Wanganui) still locked side by side with 1km to go, A surge by Pearson up the final hill opened a gap and she went on for an excellent time of 20:25.

Girls Under 16 5km: 1. Ariana Blackwood (Moa) 20:11; 2. Stephanie Dickins (Moa) 21:19; 3. Amber Walker (Wang.) 23:07 4. Rebekkah O'Leary (Wang) 24:54; 5. Kymberley Le Lievre (Wang) 25:54; 6. Danielle le Lievre (Wang) 28:51

Senior men, M19, masters men and open women grades were combined to form a field of 40 runners contesting the 10km race. Starters included the men and womens winners from the previous weeks Palmerston North half marathon, Tim Carroll (PNAHC) and Maria Bentley (Moa). These two were part of a leading pack of six runners for the first 3km of the race. Andrew Davenport (PNAHC) upped the pace around that stage to open up a small gap on Carroll, Bentley and Mark Searle (PNAHC). A further few seconds back were Craig McLean (PNAHC) and Rob Condor (Wanganui) with Men 19 runners Daniel Pinkney (PNAHC) and Cameron McNaught (Moa) part of a six strong chase group a further half minute down.

Davenport went on to win in 35 minutes 18 seconds from Carroll and Searle. McLean and Condor eventually caught Maria Bentley in the last kilometre, never the less she won the open womens in an excellent time of 36:20. Bentley's main target this year is the New Zealand half marathon championships in November in Auckland where she hopes to go under 1 hour 18 minutes for the first time.

Men 19 10km: The race for the men 19 title was still undecided with 700 metres to go, at which stage Cameron McNaught picked the pace up on the only hill of the circuit and backed himself to maintain the pace to the finish. Pinkney responded well, but the gap that opened of 50 metres was to much to overcome. Both Juniors recorded personal bests in well under 38 minutes. 1. Cameron McNaught (Moa) 37:34; 2. Daniel Pinkney (PNAHC) 37:42

9 August 2009: Levin Multipsort cross country half & 10km
A small group, including 4 Moa's lined up for this new event which started on the Mackie farm, Waitarere Beach Rd (same venue as this years AMW cross country champs). A challenging yet refreshingly different course with around 8km through forestry roads and narrow trails and the rest on undulating farmland. Hopefully we will get to see this event again next year - good things often take time to catch on.
Half marathon: 1. Billy McDougall(Levin) 1:28.12, 2. Rob Dabb 1.:31.09, 3. Sandi Pearson 1:36.40, 4. Tom Sheehan 1:49.04

4th July North Island Cross Country Champs, Taupo

Feilding Moa athletes came away with THREE medals at the North lsland Cross country championships held at Spa Park, Taupo on Saturday 4th July. In the first race of the day, girls 10 over 1000m, Zia Macdermid was second, just a metre or so behind winner Serena Murrihy of Taumaranui. These two battled shoulder to shoulder over the final 300 metres in a thrilling finish and a quality time of 3 minutes 40 seconds. (last year Serena was minute or more ahead of Zia in winning the same age group, so a great improvement!)

In the Girls 12 event over 2000 metres, Kara Macdermid quickly went to the front and established a large gap on the field, winning comfortably 12 seconds ahead of her nearest rival.

The Girls 14 race run over 3000 metres had a quality line up featuring the current junior secondary schools cross country champion, Suzannah Lynch (Olympic Wellington), last years junior secondary school champion in Feilding Moa's Stephanie Dickins and the 2008 NZ cross country champion in this age group, Stevie Paine of Wellington. And this was the order they finished. Stephanie held off a fast finish by Stevie Paine to claim a well deserved silver medal.

In the Womens 19 raced over a distance of 4000 metres. Olivia Burne (Palmerston North), took an early lead on the first lap. Danielle Trevis (North Harbour Bays) took the lead near half way, going to on to win with Olivia having to settle for a creditable 3rd place.

Raewyne Hyde made a huge improvement on last years run of nearly 2 minutes. And you will see childrens handicapper Peter Blackwood finishing in the masters 8km

30th may 2009 Hughes Memorial, Hawera Moa Success in Taranaki!

Over 30 Feilding Moa athletes travelled to Hawera on 30^th May to take part in one of the cross country events held annually in the lower North Island. We achieved a 15 top three placings including six wins plus three teams titles, which ranks among one of the best ever raids by Feilding Moa on this Taranaki race.

In the first event of the cold and drizzly afternoon, the combined girls and boys 11 year old over 2000 metres, the Moa girls team of Zia Macdermid, Emily Shearman, Melissa Blackwood and Genea Hill took a clean sweep of the first four placings. Zia, 9, won the combined race outright, having always being at the heels of teammate Carlos Lopez-Lozano throughout before taking the lead 400 metres from the finish. Her younger brother, seven year old Noah, also performed well being 3^rd boys.

The Girls 16 year old race over 3000 metres was a cracker. Taking on the older girls was 11 year old Kara Macdermid who took the lead early on. The field were content to sit back, assuming she would soon fade from inexperience. However after the first 1000 metres it was obvious she meant to stay out front and the chase began in earnest from Moa teammate and 2008 Junior NZ secondary school cross country champion Stephanie Dickins. It wasn't until the final 200 metres that Dickins was able to use her stronger finish and ½ metre height advantage to push on and win. With Eilysh Burney 4^th and Raquel Lopez-Lozano 8^th, Feilding Moa collected the teams title.

In the combined womens 4000 metres race, nationally ranked Olivia Burne of Palmerston North lead from start to finish to win in a smart time of 15:12. Wendy Cottrell-Teahan of Feilding Moa, competing in the W35-39 grade was second overall a minute behind Burne. Feilding went 1-2 in the W40-44 grade through Lisa Kuhnert and Sandy Pearson and along with Kristie Hyde in the W19, these four ladies won the overall womens team title.

The mens race saw a close battle in the M20-34, with Tom Osborne (Wanganui), a medallist at the 800 metres NZ Championships in March, stepping up and delivering in this longer endurance event, winning in 28:18. A great time given the greasy and slippery conditions to contend with over the undulating course. Feilding Moa highlights were Paul Macdermid second in the M35-39; Robert Dabb first and Chris Smith third in the M45-49 and Roger Woodruffe second in the M60-64.
