YARRA RANGES Athletics held round two of the cross country season on Saturday morning at Lillydale Lake.
A large enthusiastic group of athletes enjoyed a run around a new course through the lake parklands.
Highlights of the day were the multiple efforts of Michael Clarke, acted as hare for two races including an exceptionally fast 2000 metres, and then ran a fast finishing third in the 3000 metres.
Others included Maddie Laven turning the tables on Zac Clarke over 1500 metres, a dominant run from Kiara Flavell in the 1000 metres, and some solid runs from Alex Van Duuren, Ella and Lily Trevorrow and Ben Grimes.
The next event will be on Saturday 26 April at Margaret Lewis Reserve in Coldstream.
