TWENTY-TWO athletes and joggers from Tavistock Athletic Club competed in the Ivybridge 10K on May 11.

First home for the club was Martin Exley in 29th place. Martin, Robin Musgrave, Mike Lewis, Annette Roberts and Beryl Bowles all finished in the top ten of their age category.

For six of the runners this was their first attempt at the distance and they are looking forward to many more races in the future.

For those readers who are not yet metric, 10K is approximately six and a quarter miles. Far from being flat, the Ivybridge 10K is a tough hilly course so it was very pleasing to see six runners achieving personal best times.

Results: 29, Martin Exley, 36m. 48; 62, Robin Musgrave, 39m. 48; 81, David Chanter, 41m. 08; 91, Chris Eastaugh, 41m. 27; 118, Michael Lewis, 42m. 55; 134, Roger Hewitt, 43m. 47, PB; 145, John Outhwaite, 44m. 18; 162, Chris Halliday, 45m. 02; 189, Nigel Rendle, 46m. 08, PB;. 221, Nicole Heryet, 47m. 24, PB; 271, Annette Roberts, 49m. 54, PB; 342, Carolyn Dawe, 54m. 24, PB; 343, Robert Dawe, 54m. 24; 372, Anna Johnson, 56m. 17, PB; 403, Sarah Aspen, 58m. 26; 407, Judi Turner, 58m. 55; 410, Beryl Bowles, 59m. 39; 428, Mary Fulton, 61m. 25; 432, Marion Playle, 61m. 44; 449, Vivienne Hutchison, 64m. 35; 450, Helen Bond, 64m. 35; 452, Christine Gliddon, 65m. 13.
