A bumper crowd of Harriers ventured to the local race at Salwick on Wednesday night for the inaugural Wesham summer 10km. With many top local athletes too making the trip, it was looking sharp at the top end. Ben Fish took the victory on a hot and humid night in 31.23. First Harrier home was the ever-consistent Rob Affleck, who took 3rd place in 33.03. Next in was Lee Foley in a new pb time of 36.32. We then had a tight tussle between Simon Robinson and Andy Whaley in 22nd and 23rd with Robinson closely getting the better, finishing in 37.51 against Andy’s 37.53! Next through was another tussle between the Harriers as Paul Holmes led through Jack Keighley to a first sub 40 in 39.27. Our first lady was Vicki Sherrington in 109th and 50.15. Completing the finishers for Preston were Neil McDonald in 66th (42.59), Steve Boardman in 75th (43.51), Stephen Needham 44.47 (77th), Craig McDougal 46.13 (89th), Steve Mort 46.41 (90th), with good runs from Andy Lea, Kenny Gawne senior and Phil Lakeland completing the team for the night.
