Congratulations to Mudgee Red Devils Tri Club on 20years of hosting Central West Tri-Series Events:
(Cowra club also celebrated 20yrs having held their first Interclub event in December 1998)
This weekend’s interclub Central West Triathlon Series event at Mudgee will be a significant event, being the 20 year Anniversary of the first Mudgee Interclub round in the summer of 1998/99.
Mudgee won the inaugural series and in the 20 years since the series recognised by Triathlon’s State Administration body TriNSW as they attempt to run divisional Championships across NSW.
The actual first interclub event was held Orange on 8th March 1998, with the Mudgee Club crown the first Regional Triathlon Champions (1997/98). Cowra holding the second Interclub event (which was round 1 of the 1998/99 series) in December 1998.
Mudgee held the second round 1998/99 series on the 21 March 1999 at the Mudgee Pool. The two Round 1998/99 series decided on points based on the top 5 men and women in both the Open Seniors and the Junior Category. Where as today’s series is decided on the results of the different Age Divisions rather than the overall.
Twenty years later Cowra have just hosted there 20year Anniversary opening round of the 2018/19 Series and the Mudgee Red Devils Tri Club will host round 2 of the 2018/19 series this weekend (18th November 2018).
Back in 1998/99, Mudgee dominated the outright placings in their inaugural Home Interclub Triathlon with 3 members in the all-important Top 5 in both the Senior Males and Senior Females, backing that up with 3 Males and 2 Females in the top 5 Junior Results.
Mudgee champ Nick Kastelein defeating teammate Jason Pattison with Mark Windsor who raced for Mudgee due to Bathurst not having a triathlon club finishing 5th. Dubbo’s Scott Stevenson and Cowra Champ Jeremy Ryan finishing 3rd and 4th.
Mudgee also first and second in the open Womens with Kim Thomas defeating Rhonda Gainsford while Giselle Denley finished 4th; Dubbo’s Triathletes Rebbecca Rolls third and Karen Salmon 5th.
Certainly some impressive performances in the juniors in 1998/99 Mudgee Round with Orange’s James McMillan in super form defeating good Mudgee Triathletes Nathan Evans, Josh Ludwick and the up&coming Matt Murphy. Brett Thoms of Cowra taking 5th points. In the junior girls Orange state level cyclist Leanne Nichols defeated Mudgee speedsters Tania Murphy and Lisa Marhoff.
Other Mudgee athlete to perform well in 1998/99 - Nathan Evans, Steve Hawkins, Adam Mort, Tony Muller, Mark Roth, Tim Russell, Robert Spearman, Greg Wilson, Michael Sharp, Vic Southgate and Paul Amos who also won a round of the Cycling Interclub Series at the time.
