REPORT BY STEVE MCLEAN

New course record for Ben Johnson

41 athletes, including several Crosby and Formby Stormers and a few non-members, took part in the final race in our 2012 road grand prix. Fortunately a spectacular thunderstorm passed through a few hours earlier and rain held off until shortly after the final finishers were safely back, however the coastal wind made for a challenging race.

Ben Johnson, briefly back from Olympic duties, had a clear lead at the end of the first lap and extended it on lap 2 to win in a new course record of 17.01, bettering David Hamilton's June time by 3 seconds.  Gerry Lenehan has successfully raced on the track recently and his speed showed as he opened up a second lap gap on Rick Bowker, Gerry crossing the line in 17.28 with Rick taking 17.58.  A very strong finish by Luke Tyson saw him finish 4th in 18.26, 30 seconds ahead of another teenager, Jonathan Foster.

Christine Murray of Liverpool Harriers was first lady in 21.08, just ahead of Clare Constable (21.12).
