Records set in scorching<br />
heat at Boulder <strong>Bay</strong> Classic<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE PACE at Sunday’s Boulder<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Classic was scorching hot, as<br />
records fell in both the men’s and<br />
women’s events.<br />
The men’s record was not just<br />
broken but completely smashed<br />
by race winner Oska <strong>Bay</strong>nes. His<br />
time of 36m 13s over the 10.5km<br />
trail course was a whopping<br />
3min quicker than the previous<br />
best time of 39m 13s set by Dallas<br />
Wichman in 2<strong>01</strong>3.<br />
“I don’t think it’s beatable. The<br />
thing that was most amazing is<br />
that when he crossed the finish<br />
line he just looked like he had<br />
run 100m to go and have a cup of<br />
tea and piece of cake,” said event<br />
organiser Lisa Brignell.<br />
GOOD JOB: Department<br />

YOUNG GUNS: It was<br />
a fun day out for the<br />
young ones with a 1.2km<br />
run around Taylors<br />
Mistake.<br />
In the women’s event Jean<br />
Kozyniak’s time of 45m 4s was<br />
good enough to shave 24sec off<br />
Liliana Braun’s record of 45m<br />
28s, which she set last year.<br />
Braun finished second in Sunday’s<br />
race in a time of 45m 22s.<br />
Sunday’s conditions were perfect<br />
for racing with the overall<br />
pace among the top runners well<br />
under previous times.<br />
“It was a little bit overcast and<br />
cooler to start with and just got<br />
warmer and warmer as the day<br />
progressed,” said Brignell.<br />
David Fitch was the best of the<br />
Sumner Running Club members,<br />
finishing fifth overall in the<br />
men’s event and second in the<br />
35-49 age category. The majority<br />
of regular Sumner runners experienced<br />
a day on the other side of<br />
the track as race marshals.<br />
The day was also a winner for<br />
the children with 50 prizes going<br />
to those who took part in the<br />
1.2km run.<br />
With numbers on the track<br />
limited to 400, the popular event<br />
sold out entries three weeks prior<br />
to the race.<br />
