Kerr, who has only been racing seriously for four years, showed in his semi-final victory that he’d be hard to beat in the final and he produced a carbon copy performance in the decider.
He raced to the front in the final and showed great strength to hold off a classy field which included Bendigo duo Jake Hilson and Lonain Burnett.
Kerr (32m) ran a time of 44.795 seconds to defeat Ashley Kenshole (24m) and a gallant Hilson (25m).
“I’ve trained for 12 months for this. All my planning went into it,’’ Kerr said.
“All the hard work has paid off.”
Kerr won $3500 and a Black Opal.
