Kevin comes second in 400m

Kevin Moore from St Huberts Island finished second in the men's 400 metre event of the Brisbane Athletics Classic with a time of 46.81 seconds on Friday, February 11, in this year's Australian Athletics Tour.

Moore placed second to current national champion and fellow Commonwealth Games relay teammate Ben Offereins who clocked in at 46.25 seconds.

Moore's athletics coach Mr Larry Spencer said he was pleased with Kevin's performance.

"This was an outstanding start to the season and it reflects the invaluable experience of Kevin's international competitions," he said.

"We didn't come back into work until November due to Commonwealth Games commitments, so we are still in heavy work and in my opinion about three weeks away from being ready to race.

"This next three week block is critical to Kevin's season.

"He will then have a further three to four races to polish his skills prior to nationals in April.

"Kevin's next race is the Melbourne Track Classic on March 3," said Mr Spencer.
