MEDAL SUCCESSES

Six Tasman Masters athletes won 10 medals between them, including 6 gold medals, at the NZ Masters Association Track and Field Championships held at QEII stadium in Christchurch over Easter. Ian Morrison (M60) won a full set of medals in his three events. In his first ever attempt at the 2000m steeplechase he led the field for the entire race to claim the gold in his age group in a time of 8mins 23secs. He won his silver in the 10,000m with a time of 40m56s and the bronze in the 5000m in 19m 31s.
In the very competitive M50 grade, Tim Cross won a silver medal in the 10,000m with a well judged run in a time of 37m 32s. He was 4th in the 1500m and 5th in both the 400m and 5000m. Also competing in the M50 grade, Steve Low in his first ever track races finished a very creditable 4th place in the 400m in 64.14s and 8th in the 5000m. In the M55 grade, Derek Shaw won the 5000m in 18m 33s and was second in the 10,000m with a time of 39m 1s, 13s behind Gene Sanderson from Otago who he had beaten in the 5000m by 9s after taking the lead with 300m to go. Derek was also 4th in the 1500m and 6th in his 400m.
The two Tasman race walkers Nyle Sunderland (W40) and Stephen Farqufar (M50) both had a double gold medal haul in winning their respective age groups in the 3000m track walk and 10k road walk. Continuing her good form in winning a bronze medal at the Athletics NZ open championships in Christchurch the previous weekend, Nyle was first overall in both events and completed the 3000m in 16m 41s and the 10k in 58m 41s which was a personal best by 11s. Stephen stopped the clock at 17m 7s for the 3000m and 62m 3s for the 10k road walk.
