Butser Hill Run
TALENTED teenager Georgie Gair took on the challenge of the Butser Hill Run and won her first ever Butser title.
Wearing Stubbington Green colours, Georgie was almost a minute and a half quicker than second-placed Miranda Adcock (Victory AC) over the 4.5 mile course at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
Georgie clocked an impressive time of 39min 35sec to finish 27th overall from a field of 275 runners. Trained by Penny Forse who missed the race because of a family get-together, Penny was delighted when Tamsin Jackson, another of her protoges, finished second in the junior race.
The men's race was won by the familiar figure of Chichester Runners' James Baker in a time of 30.48.
Stubbington's men finished ninth in the team standings, led home by Zac Conaty in 82nd position with a time of 45.31.
John Tussler bagged 102nd place in 46.41 (Vet 50, 10th), followed by Dan Horscroft in 146th with 50.59 and Peter Adams, who was the seventh Vet 60, 156th overall in 51.44.
Michael Aimable made his annual pilgrimage to the Butser - and despite being in his 81st year, he didn't finish last. Michael clocked 1hr 23min 52sec for 211th overall and 10th Vet 60.
