Leaderboards after Round 3 of the Snr Winter League.

There has been quite a bit of movement on the overall Leaderboard, with the biggest mover being our winners from last year, Night Ninjas moving up from 5th place last week to 2nd place this week, and Lynndale Athletic and Harrier Club moving up from 8th place to 5th place.

Owairaka Athletics is still holding onto the top position with Auckland City Athletics Club and Pakuranga Athletic Club sharing 3rd position this week.

What will happen during the next round? It is still early days and anything can happen. Remember, the more runners you have running events, the more points you will gain. So encourage your runners to compete.

Next event is on 13 June - the Auckland Teams Cross Country Championship. Just a reminder that you need to enter individually for this race and it is not forming part of the Grand Prix series this year. The winning teams on the day are made up out of the first relevant number of athletes finish positions on the day. All runners contribute to teams' placings by keeping other club runners further back in the field.
