| Team Calderglen Harriers before the race |
Another evening of fine racing from the Calderglen Harriers Young Athletes Section showing that they might be junior to the seniors but displaying some fine mature performances after weeks of hard work and effort in training. This year we had mild and dry conditions on Friday night and all the Young Calderglen Harrier athletes looked very professional warming up for their races on the cricket pitch with coach John Mullen and wearing their Harrier vest / yellow t-shirts amongst the many other club colours.
To begin with I thought the whole night was excellent. After my rallying cry for food for Friday's buffet, it was great that all the parents worked together to put on tremendous buffet for all the 1k & 3k runners (a first for the Young Athletes Section). So a big thank you to all Parents and Coaches. I felt a positive buzz of enthusiasm in the atmosphere amongst the Harrier runners and great signs of camaraderie & friendship. As I was manning my 5k registration post in the clubhouse I started hearing the 1k results and was pleased to hear we got 1st & 2nd in 1k...what a way to start. Then I got to see the 3k runners finishing their race with Emma starting off with a fantastic sprint finish achieving an impressive 6th place overall. Shortly after Emma, the rest of Harriers were coming through thick and fast all showing great grit and determination to run their best...fantastic! See the list of award overhaul below.
