On Saturday afternoon the 400m finals began with Virginia Mitchell setting the standard with a gold medal in the W55. Jo Flowers followed in her footsteps with her 2nd gold of the weekend and not to be outdone Lizzie Amos also got gold in the W40 400m.

Martin Willis finished off Saturday’s events with 6th in the LJ.

Jon Ladley began Sunday morning with gold in the M35 pole vault.

Jo Flowers went for her hat-trick of gold medals coming home first on the 200m.

Next on were Virginia and Lizzie in the 800m; Virginia led from gun to tape with a confident run narrowly missing out on the W55 800m world record. Lizzie also gained her 2nd gold medal of the weekend winning by 1/10th of a second!
