13yo North Beach athlete Adriaan Pelser has won the 2013 Be Active Mullewa Gift. With UWA beachsprinter Sophie Watts in 2nd and Ben Offereins from Manduarah/Rockingham finishing 3rd.
After being beaten in the fastest heat of the day by 0.03sec (K. Reddingius) Pelser had to do it the hard way and win his repecharge to make the 120m gift final.
