Lake City Athletic Club members competing at the New Zealand road championships held at the weekend in Tauranga found out how difficult it is to win a national title.
Despite solid efforts from all club members who competed it was only Trevor Ogilvie who came away with a winning performance.
This came in the masters men's 65 division with Ogilvie again proving he is the best in New Zealand for his age by winning the 10km race in a good time of 38.25 minutes.
Ogilvie led from the start and never gave any of the five runners opposing him a chance.
Lake City runner Tony Broadhead was placed second in the masters men's 45 division after staying with the leading bunch for most of the 10km race.
