Chapman the Champion
Geoff Chapman on Saturday 27th Appril, became the nineteenth name to be engraved on the Bushy Bend Jog Champion’ s trophy,“ The Colleen and Bob Behl Shield”. Geoff had to dig deep in Saturday’ s jog to take the title, when Gordon Honeyman( who was two and half points behind Geoff before Saturday’ s jog) was easily first home and needing only two others to finish before Geoff to secure the title for himself.
Ross Headon passed Geoff with about two hundred meters to go to take second place and with Marg Booth closing fast, Geoff had to seriously think about breaking from his usual walking routine and run to make the title his. Geoff kept his cool and continued to power walk over the line in third spot a meter ahead of Marg thus giving Geoff the title by half a point over Gordon. Gordon, Ross, Geoff and Marg all broke their previous best time by thirty second or more.
Blue Pearson who was having his first run after a six week break, finished fifth in the points.
Two laps Phyllis Jones 31:36, who says“ even grandmothers can do it”.
Cody Paterson is aiming to get his name on the trophy like older brother Harley. Running a time of 22:55 for three laps at the last run for the season, he is well on his way to achieving his goal.
Previous winner Digger Booth congratulates this seasons winner Geoff Chapman.
Both Geoff and Gordon are to be congratulated as they have dominated for the last twenty weeks with Geoff finishing with 84.5 points, Gordon 84, Cody Patterson 42, Blue Pearson 38.5, and Marg Booth 37.
A new season started on the 4th of May. Each round of competition lasts 20 weeks. Runners are awarded points for winning and placing but the run is mostly about health and fitness. Run, walk or jog for one, two or three laps of the 1.3 kilometer track, its all about beating your own times.
