A group of 16 from Bendigo clubs competed in 1500m or 800m last Thursday night at the Elgar Road circuit.

The B-grade 1500m included the Buckell twins, Ned and Matt, racing to 11th and 15th placings in times of 3:58.72 and 4:05.
University's Tullie Rowe ran 4:44.23 to be sixth in the women's B-grade 1500m.
