With the lure of off-road events being too irresistible for most Harriers, there were just 2 Harrier representatives at the Devon County track championships, held on the weekend of 12th - 13th May.
Dave Eveleigh opted to run in just the one race: the 3000m. Coming back into some real form and starting to mix it with the other men in his age category, Dave finished in 10th place overall in a mixed-age race but crucially he placed 2nd MV55, just one place behind the other runner in that catgeory, in 11:39:97. The winter 3k series at the Exeter Arena that Dave attended religiously has obviously sharpened his legs over the distance no end!
Jamie Palmer, meanwhile, opted for 2 events: the 800m and the 1500m. In both events there were enough vet runners to stage seperate senior and vet races. In the MV40 1500m race Jamie finished 2nd overall and also 2nd MV40 in a strong time of 4:24:62. In the 800m he again placed second in a sizzling time of 2:11:49, but this time he clinched the top spot in the MV40 category. A very successful weekend's running for Jamie and really encouraging for the rest of the track season.
Exe-rated runners!
