Barron holds off a fast finishing Alex Seen to win his first race since he ironically won the same event in 2017.
The fast flat 2 lap course was held around the picturesque Westbury Village green and town common. In second place was fast finishing Alex Seen with Barbara Clayton fading into 3rd. In the shorter races it was Ruby Williams from Alexander Wood and Luke McKenzie in the 3km and Hunter Fitzallen finding her wings to win with a massive PB of over 1 minute per km in the 1.5km event. Hunter was followed by Dale Kean and Hugo Green.
Fastest: In the 6km race, fastest runners were Jennifer Tait and Oliver Marshall. In the 3km race, Alexander Wood and Sophie Marshall were fastest and in the 2km event it was Savannah McKenzie and Xavier Davie.
Personal bests from the same event in 2019: Division 1, Jennifer Tait and Denis Giasli. Division 2, Luke McKenzie, Sophie Marshall, Ben Giasli, Blaise Fitzallen and Jacquie Spencer. Division 3, Hunter Fitzallen, Rohan Crawford, Jillian Parkinson and Savannah McKenzie.
