Parkruns successes

YOUNGSTERS AGAIN SHINE IN PARKRUNS

The two North Wales Parkruns are proving happy experiences for several of the region's youngsters.

 After coming fourth the previous week Menai's 13-year-old Osian Perrin had another good run  at Conwy, finishing fifth in a field of over 230. First home was Tom Adams in 17.12, with regular Parkrunner Paul Wathan (Eryri) three seconds behind and Colwyn Bay teenager Michael Parry third in 17.56. First female home, in a pb of 21.06, was Rhiannon Kamink, also of Colwyn Bay AC.

 Meanwhile at Penrhyn Castle, a rather tougher course, 16-year-old Ryan Cain (Menai) led the field in 17.58 and the first female, in sixth place overall, was Deeside AC's 13-year-old Mia Roberts. Her time was a remarkable 20.01.

 After finishing second at Conwy Paul Wathan dashed to Llandudno and came third in the Easter 5k on the prom. His time there was 17.09.

 That race was won by yet another talented youngster, Eryri teenager Owen Roberts, in 16.47, with John Edward Morris (Denbigh) 17 seconds back.

 Rachel Olivant (Derby) was first lady home in 18.56, with another Colwyn Bay teenager, Holly Roberts, second in 1943 and Paul Wathan's partner Gemma Morgans third in 19.55.

 One of the other outstanding performances in Llandudno came from super-vet Dave Gardner (NWRR), who won the M75 class in a superb 23.19.
