JONES & PARTNERS WINTER LEAGUE - RACE 3
Vazon Road Race
(4.5Miles)
SUNDAY 18th FEBRUARY 2001

Nick Despres proved his consistency in more ways than one while clocking another victory in the GIAAC Jones and Partners Winter league. Another positive piece of front running saw Despres clock his third consecutive victory and puts him well on course to defend the division one title.  Such was the margin of Despres victory that there was some initial speculation amongst club officials over the possibility of a new course record, further checks revealed that Paul Sheard's record remained untouched but that Despres had in fact produced an exact repeat of his own previous years winning time with a clocking of 23 minutes 36 seconds for the 4.5 mile course.

Pete Wickins was a distant second, over 2 minutes behind the runaway victor. With the inter insular cross country only a fortnight away, the club's selectors would have normally hoped to have already finalised team selection but a host of improved performances ensures that the team will not be named until after next weeks Island Cross Country Championships. A welcome return to distance running by hockey star Richard Saunders and another good performance by Tim Johns bring them both into the frame for an Island place. Pete De Bertrand produced another quality run to sneak past fellow supervet Tom Oliver and now leads Division 2 while Colin Guilmoto posted another narrow victory over Paul Davies to move a point clear in Division 3.
After competing as a novice in the 2000 Opta Challenge Gary Allen's running continues to improve and he now leads Division 4. While, allowing for the discard of her missed first race, Sally Dowinton had another strong run to move her to the top of Division 5.
