Athletics: Matthew Hargreaves nicks St Albans Gift

Matthew Hargreaves shone brightest under the stars to take out the 2015 St Albans Gift at Kings Park Reserve on Saturday night.

The Werribee sprinter burst to the line to claim the 120m open main event in a time of 12.94 seconds, ahead of Nick Magree (13.01) and Daniel Steinhauser (13.04).

Peter Dudkiewicz (13.07), Edward Ware (13.10) and Matthew Harvey (13.13) were the other runners who made it through to the final.

Kirsty Stevens triumphed in the 120m Women’s Gift. It was a big day for the host St Albans Sports Club with more than 2000 people turning out at the Gillespie Road venue.

Australian Commonwealth Games star Morgan Mitchell was a major drawcard, running a clinic for local Little Athletics children.
