Distance running is firmly in the spotlight, with members of Gosford Athletics Club clocking up impressive results in recent weeks.
In the NSW Road Relay Championships held at Bankstown on August 6, Oliver Ham, Harry McClusky, Rohan Narin and Luke Shaw won their U20s age group and also finished third outright in the men’s division.
Coach Paul Arthur said this had never happened before in the event.
The team of four also won their age group in the NSW Cross Country Relays in June.
Oliver Ham won the 5km event in the Sydney Harbour 10km and 5km race on July 28, also breaking the course record.
All four boys will compete in the Australian Cross Country Championship in Tasmania and Melbourne in the next few weeks.
They train at Adcock Oval and compete as Squad Central TC.
Another squad runner, Lauren Read, won the recent Bay to Bay road race from Woy Woy to Gosford.
Arthur said some members of the squad were among the best young runners in Australia.
