Over 700 athletes took part in our Track & Field Championships on 27/28 July at Barnet Copthall stadium, North London. There were many exciting events, including the M40 100 metres in which all three medallists were given the same time of 11.77. This was the last opportunity for many competitors before they departed for the 13th European Veterans Track & Field Championships in Potsdam from 15-25 August.
315 British veteran athletes have entered the European Championships in Potsdam.
Darrell Maynard, who set a British M40 400m Indoors record (49.99) in February, ran a super 50.02 in Wales. He will be a strong medal contended in Potsdam.
Joe Caines, M50-54 age group, whose son Daniel is currently one of Britain's top 400 internationals, was timed at 54.4 in a 400m relay leg in June.
