Gem Of A Run From Stones

By Brian Marantelli 6 July 2017

David Stones continued with his great recent form at Lysterfield Park on Saturday by taking out the AB Phillips 6.5km sealed handicap. Lysterfield was David’s second win with the club, his previous being the 5km at Jells Park in 2016. David’s recent form was a close second to Leon Brooks at Yarra Bend and before that fifth in the Westgate 5km.

Stones had a good margin of thirty three seconds to spare over the consistent Adamo Traini with Joel Donnar in third place. Joel was the fastest overall with a solid run of 22:33 over the testing Lysterfield course. Ian Cayzer, having his second run with the club this winter, finished a few seconds behind Donnar, recording his best 6.5km run with the VCCL. Sean Quilty, after rising early to mark the course, was still able to find the speed to finish of the run in fifth place. Corina Kapusta was the fastest of the ladies with a run of 25:23.

The Victorian Cross Country League would like to thank David Page and AB Phillips for their sponsorship of Saturday’s event.
