Silver for Sims

Posted by speedygeoff on Thursday, July 28, 2005 with
First of all a reminder that track training is on at the AIS again tonight and every Thursday night at 5:30pm. And a few of us meet earlier at 4:30pm for a long jog.

The latest news from Edmonton has Geoff Sims ("from Hawker") winning silver in the M55 200. A close analysis of the results will show that the man with the fastest time in the heats was disqualified in the final. Well done Geoff! I don't know how you did it!

And Geoff has qualified for the 400 final, this time with the fastest time in the heats. By the look of the time he may have been easing back - probably had just run the 200 final!

Kathy ("from Hawker")'s events are yet to come.
