The Aussies were glad to see teammate Heather Carr win her second gold medal of the meet when she captured the W60 division of the 10K Race Walk on Friday. Carr crossed the finish line with a time of 56 minutes 17.1 seconds. Earlier this week she won the W60 3,000m Race Walk in a world-record time of 15:54.75. After Friday’s race, Carr went directly to the Kamloops Airport to begin the return trip home to Melbourne— a sad journey, as she is going home for the funeral of her mother, who died on Feb. 25, the eve of Carr’s trip to Kamloops.
