A couple of the highlights of the afternoon was the tight racing across the Junior Gift boys with siblings Matthias & Jonas Forbes-Schultz taking out first and second followed by Curran twins Edward and William from Darling Downs Athletics battling for 3rd, only 0.4 of a second separating the twin boys over the 3km.
A new Track Record for the women's 3000m was set by Nikita Moore at 09:47.4, this took the old mark set by Margot Manning (09:48.0) in around 1995. An amazing effort!!
The event will be back next year bigger and better, please put it on your training calendar.
