The Juniors were again led by Hanson Wong and Sam Cooke, who powered home at 3:35 min/km pace to gain 5th and 6th place respectively. Justin Verrocchi's 10th was also a season best.
Several other juniors continue to show excellent improvement in times, although their efforts were not always rewarded in their finishing place: David Liu, Kevin Cheung, Ashley Zhao, Magnus Ross and David Thorn all deserve special mentions.
The intermediates also completed a single lap of the Tan, with Doug Brown leading the way in 30th place, and breaking the important 4 min/km barrier for the first time. Umedha Chandrasekera ran a much improved race and Cameron Wynn also battled a bad knee to finish 2nd for CGS. James Majer, Sheng Wei Wong improved on Round 2 efforts and Lee Rayden looked great on debut.
The Seniors raced over 6.5 km, including 2 x Anderson St, but several runners improved their times despite these challenges. Ben Collins 26th was a highlight, with Tom Bath, Daimon Ewart and James Johnstone also running well. Julian Lim remained ever reliable and was the only CGS runner to break 4 min/km.
