WHILE his younger brother was tackling the boards at the world indoor championships, Lee Garland was making an impressive debut over 20 miles in winning the GIAAC’s annual Church to Church.

The versatile athlete, who has competed at island level in events ranging from sprint hurdles to triple jump to steeplechase, was one of many using the club’s longest annual race to prepare for a spring marathon.

He finished two minutes clear of Richard Stapley in 2hr 5min. 34sec., while Colin Ozanne was third, a further minute behind.
