Philip breaks V50 60m record.

Our Masters athletes had a warm up for the British Indoors Masters this weekend by taking part in the Easters Masters & Vetarans AC champs in Lee Valley on Sunday.

Disappointingly the Southern Counties vets don’t seem to have an indoor champs this year and our Masters athletes have taken the opportunity to join the VAC instead.

Kathryn Miles (coach Dave Sherry) had her fastest season opener by running a rapid 8.69 secs in the 60m and followed this by sneaking under 30 secs for the 200m by running 29.99 secs. Sue Van Vuuren (self coached) had made the most of the Cape Town sunshine by competing in a 100m race in South Africa the weekend before last and followed this by running 9.03 secs for 60m indoors in North London. Sue then ran the 200m in 30.87 secs.

Philip Kricks (coach Dave Sherry) shows that age is no barrrier to improvement as he ran 8.90secs for a pb over 60m breaking Dave Roberts V50 indoor club Masters record. Philip has improved by .8 of a second over the course of the last year, a huge margin over 60m. He followed this with a run of 30.10 in the 200m.
