Peter Kaneen continued his domination of the years local
racewalking fixtures with another accomplished performance
in the 10k walking championships on Wednesday evening
at the N.S.C track, adding another sub 46 minute clocking
to his C.V.
Home on a break from University, junior Neil Bates was first
out of the blocks and led the field for a couple of laps, Peter
then took over and gradually eased away over the remaining
distance, lapping the rest of the field in the process.
Neil in turn was a clear second, ahead of Allan Callow who
despite illness earlier in the week, raced well.
There were some terrific performances further down the field
also, David Griffiths walked a faster second half to record
his best ever 10k and a delighted Marie Latham was a very worthy
womens winner, chopping a huge chunk from her best with
a breakthrough performance. She will be hoping to maintain
this sort of form in Dublin next month and similarly reduce
her 20k best.
Bringing home the field was Alan Kinvig, who was well
rewarded for making the trip from the North of the Island,
also recording a lifetimes best.
In the 3k event, Robert Moore showed an encouraging
return to form with a much sharper race.
Callum Taylor in second, impressed, with a stylish walk
ahead of Ciara Kaneen who also looked smoother and
recorded a personal best.
Ciara's younger sister Bronwen also walked an even
race in her second attempt at the distance.
The 1k was dominated by the talented Lauren Whelan,
she was unpressed to record an easy victory in a fine
time.
The race for the minor placings resulting in a close scrap
between Sinead Kaneen and Kirsty Taylor, Sinead just
getting ahead at the finish. Abbie Moore finished in
fourth after suffering a little from her blistering pace at
the start.
Manx Harriers would like to thank Peter Clague for timekeeping,
George Callister, Steve Taylor and Maureen Cox for judging the
races and Paul Jackson for lap scoring and remembering the
milk for the tea afterwards.
