Tapak A,
Taman Tasik Perdana
Kuala Lumpur
Klang Pacers Athletic Club was represented by two teams which were made up of the seniors and also the junior runners.The club decided that the young and new faces should be given exposure to competitive relay races.Only Jayakumar was retained in our elite quartet.
Three fifth formers and a form four student were picked to challenge not only their seniors but other strong competitors from KL as well.The four talented runners represented their respective schools in MSSM recently.
As expected,Ms Georgina Beech led the female runners and she managed to build a huge gap for her Volkswagen GTI Racers team followed behind by another strong female runner,Ms Michelle Tan of Earth,Wind and Fire team.Veteran runner,Ms Lian Bee Hoon of Indian Pacemakers surprisingly came in third and our both girls were held back to 4th and 5th place.
The Volkswagen GTI Racers' second runner,Daniel Tan maintained their lead but our runners were quickly closing in.
Being the defending champion,we were banking on our boys to deliver and to save the club from suffering an ignominious defeat.
When batons changed hand for the second time,both our teams were in front.Vickneswaran,the third runner of our junior team surged to the lead,leaving Naresh Kumar and Jasni Khairil behind.
But the day went to Murali Nathan.He posted an incredibly fast pace of 8 minutes and 27 seconds for the final lap of 2.6km to overtake the junior team and emerged victorious.
Based on their individual timing,both our teams are equally strong except for experience as the seniors are more mature and save the best for the last.
Below are the split timing of our runners
