QLD Mountain Running Championships
Camp Mountain, Brisbane
Sunday 6 June 2010
It was a Duffus double at the QLD Mountain Running Championships on Sunday with 17 year old Ben Duffus, runner up in the Australian junior title 2 weeks earlier, taking out the Junior Men’s 7.1 kms in 28.29, and his father Andrew winning the open men’s race on the same course in 34.23 by 20 seconds from legendary stalwart Graham Barralet, with Suenggi Chung 3rd in the open age group in 35.19.
Former Australian women’s champion Hubertien Wichers, a 2009 Australian representative, won the women’s 7.1 kms in 33.38, with Meryll Fletcher less than a minute behind in 34.35, and Rebecca Wade third in 37.17. The junior girl’s 3.5 km race went to Roisin O’Dwyer-Mazur in 18.46. The placings in the junior men’s 7.1 kms were Keny Arcangel in 35.11 and Jack Taylor in 35.47.
The 7.1 km course had a climb of just over 300m. The venue on Camp Mountain in Brisbane is planned for the up/down Australian Mountain Running Championships in 2011, but on a much tougher course. The Mt St Leonard course on the outskirts of Melbourne with 1000m of climb is tentatively planned for the uphill Australian Championships in 2012.
