Benita Johnson won the ladies race in impressive style, setting a new Personal Best of 67.55, while Sonia OSullivan finished strongly to take 6th place in 68.55. In a day of good results, Chris Chataway ran 1.39 for provisional 1st V70 while Dave Barker (75.04) and Rob Bowyer (85) also ran well.
The V60 team once again stole the show with a fine team victory. Good running by Michael Johnson and Robin Dickson saw the team off well before Keith Spacie burst into the lead on the third leg. Peter Giles then closed the team - with time to wave at the tent - and recorded the second fastest time of the day.
John McFarlane put in the performance of the day in the senior event, with seventh fastest overall. With three good teams running we made sure of national qualification by a solid 9th place. The B team finished first second team in the event and 16th place would, itself, also have qualified for Sutton Park if this was allowed. Results below.
