The U18 Men also led to a 7th place finish in a tight contest with the Men U14 team made up of Mitchell Korosec, Tom Goodson and Lachlan Anderson finishing the course in third place following a strong opening from Korosec.
In the seniors, the Men 40+ finished 5th while the Men OPEN division 4 team had a terrific day with a 4th place finish with Jordan Mayston with a 12:52 minutes leg of the 3.87km relay. In the Open Men’s Premier division, the Ballarat Region finished 9th but were only 4 minutes away from first place in one of their best performances for the year in a strong competition. In what was an even performance, all 6 athletes in the OPEN Men team finished the 3.87km leg in under 12:33 minutes! The OPEN Women Premier pushed through the course to finish in 9th and secure their position in premier division for next year
