Lizzie Ingham WOC2014 Sprint
WOC Report #3
By ONZ Online Coordinator - Roger Woodroofe - 7 Jul 2014 - Blog Post

Sadly these were not exactly a great success from the NZ point of view, with only Lizzie running to form and cruising into the final in 6th place in her heat. Greta was right up with the pace in heat 3, but a 1 minute mistake was the death knell for her qualifying chances, and Imogene was steady but always just off the necessary pace.
