Despite being out of race form, Lebo Phalula did enough to claim the top spot in the senior women’s race over 8km at the annual Cross Country trials at the Boksburg stadium on Saturday afternoon, 26 January, 2013, beating the 27 year-old Mapaseka Makhanya into second place.
“I am not in good shape at the moment because I am still training,” said Phalula after the race. “It was also very hot and humid out there.”
Nolene Conrad did not reproduce her SA Cross Country Championships performance today, and had to be satisfied with a third place finish.
Mpho Mabuza and Christine Kalmer finished fourth and fifth respectively.
Victory in the junior women’s race over 6km went to Nonhlanhla Dlamini from Central Gauteng Athletics. AMPU’s Glenrose Xaba finished ahead of Annie Bothma (WPA).
The teams for the Southern Region and World Championships will be announced after the Athletics SA board meeting this weekend.
