Photo: Stephen Granger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nedbank athlete, Anel Terblanche, won an exciting UCT 10km Memorial Run from the University of Cape Town campus in ideal conditions on Sunday, 1 May winning the Merrilyn Smith trophy in the 40th anniversary of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Six hundred runners completed the race in memory of five UCT athletes who lost their lives while actively involved in the club \u2013 Merrilyn Smith, Isavel Roche-Kelly, Lindsay Weight, Kevin Rochford and Andrezj Okreglicki. Today\u2019s race paid special tribute to Smith, a UCT and Western Province cross country and road athlete from the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>Terblanche beat the 36 min target for the R5000 cash bonus by 25 seconds and second-placed Murray and Roberts athlete, Nolene Conrad, by just 13 seconds to clock 35 min 35 sec for the testing course.<\/p>\n<p>This was only the second time in 28 years on the hilly UCT course that two women have finished under 36 minutes, the first back in 1995 when Elana Meyer set the \u2018unbreakable\u2019 course record of 32:38 and Two Oceans champion, Jowaine Parrot, clocked 35:59 for second place.<\/p>\n<p>Terblanche and Conrad raced together until the former opened a gap on her rival shortly before half-way. Conrad fought back strongly but ran out of tarmac and was unable to prevent Terblanche from winning R5000 first prize, R5000 time incentive and a Merrilyn Smith designer Tee-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was unaware of the big prize on offer,\u201d admitted Terblanche. \u201cI wasn\u2019t sure if I should have got out of bed so early this morning, but I\u2019m really pleased I did! I would not have run that time if it were not for Nolene pushing me so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It proved a good day for Athletes Academy athletes, with Deon Lee Hendricks outrunning his teammate, Philani Sengce, to win by 28 seconds in 30:44. Atlantic\u2019s Star Shayance was third in 31:23.<\/p>\n<p>The young athlete from Elana Van Zyl\u2019s Endurocad academy, Hendricks, ran the second fastest time in the last ten years behind Siboniso Soldaka\u2019s 30:27 set in 2017. The course record is held by Makhosonke Fika, who clocked a superb 29:28 in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>Also running in the colours of the Athletes Academy was former international track star, Zola Budd, who raced impressively to clock 42:14 in the Masters 50 years category. She was outrun on the day, however, with Nedbank\u2019s Obertina Kanyongo winning by 31 seconds in an excellent 41:43.<\/p>\n<p>VOB runner, Sarah Johl, was delighted to win a special bouquet of flowers in addition to the category cash prize for winning the Masters 60 years group in 52:53. Merrilyn Smith\u2019s former flat-mate, Dr Trish Moores, donated the prize.<\/p>\n<p>Itheko athlete John September turned in a remarkable performance. Twenty-nine years after he won the race (clocking 29:13 on the old Bellville course in 1993), September took line honours in the Masters 50 years age group, winning today in 37:14.<\/p>\n<p>Results<\/p>\n<p>Women<br \/>1 Anel Terblanche (Nedbank) 35:35; 2 Nolene Conrad (M&amp;R) 35:49; 3 Obertina Kanyongo (Nedbank) 41:43; 4 Anneline Roffey (Nedbank) 41:55; 5 Zola Budd (Athletes Academy) 42:14;<\/p>\n<p>Men<br \/>1 Deon Lee Hendricks (Athletes Acad) 30:44; 2 Philani Sengce (Ath Acad) 31:12; 3 Star Shayance (AAC) 31:23; 4 Gilbert Mutandiro (Cent City) 31:35; 5 Mthandazo Qhina (Nedbank) 32:01<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">147<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/nedbank-athlete-anel-terblanche-wins-ucts-10km-memorial-run\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
