Murray Goldfinch of the local Weston Creek Athletic Club,, won two Gold Medals in the Shot Put and the Discus, and Paul Mitchell of Australia beat the World Record Holder to win the 10,000 metres track event.

Paul was in a great position in the 5,000 metres race coming in to the home straight, but tripped and fell, so was even more determined to win the 10,000 metres.

A team of six people, including Friar, were kept busy in the administrative area with photo-finish and results processing for the five days of the event.

Friar in fact managed to take leave from 11:30 am on Wednesday and Friday to particpate in the BBQ Stakes and the Customs Joggers events.

Until Next Time.
