Kara Achieving Again

Congratulations to Kara Macdermid who placed a close second in the Dome Cup Cross Country event in Wellington recently.

"The senior women's event saw a great race with internationally-ranked Nicky Hamblin, who had travelled from Cambridge to compete, had to call on all her experience to hold off a very determined challenge from Kara who led through the first 2km.

Hamblin crossed the line in 22m 08s for the 6km journey, pulling away over the final 2km to finish just ahead of Kara (22m 30s)".
