Harrier Club Champs

New Zealand harrier representative Alan Parkinson won his twelfth successive title in the Gisborne Harrier Club's annual championships when he came home a clear winner in the 7½ mile senior race.

The championships, which were held over a very wet and slippery course at Hexton last month, attracted large entries in the four sections for seniors, juniors, and A and B grade colts.
