BMAF Track & Field Championships (18/09/2013)

Simon & Joanne Cooper competed at the BMAF Track & Field Championshps in Birmingham.

Joanne finished off a brilliant season with a personal best of 14.78 seconds in the W100m, knocking a clear 2 seconds of her PB this season, which is her very first season here at Tipton Harriers, and as a W35.

Meanwhile Simon, also a M35, finished 7th over 800m in a time of 2m 11s in his first race at that distance for over 5 years. With recent top ten finishes in the Park Run races at Walsall, and a win at the Margate Park Run, he hopes to get closer to his PB of 1m 55s for 800m next year.

We also understand that Simon has also already beaten the M40 record time for 400m set by Mike Wrenn in 1987. Simon did this in this years Tipton Games.

We are unaware of exactly what the various M35 & W35 track & field records are for the club (for all disciplines). We understand the masters/veteran age changes from 40 to 35 took place in the early 1990's. If any one can provide ratified details on the various records for both M35 & W35 that exist within the club we would be very grateful to know and gladly post them on this site for reference.
