Stunning result for club at ERCs at The Mount
11th February 2021
It was the best result in years for Red Beach. The club maintained its second overall points placing right throughout the Eastern Regional Championships to be runner-up to host club Mount Maunganui when the event came to a close.
Red Beach athletes came away with 8 Gold, 21 Silver & 15 Bronze Medals.
Excellent weather and moderate surf prevailed for the duration of the championships which attracted over 500 athletes.
Pictured above ... It was fast and furious in the sprint to the finish flags in the final of the U19 Men's Taplin Relay. For much of the event, Red Beach filled the first three spots, which gave rise to the announcer's comment that 'there must be something in the water at Red Beach'.
Check out the feet of these runners ... only two feet touching the sand. Almost a flying finish. Red Beach collected the Silver & Bronze medals.
