Chris Pruski, the records co-ordinator for Welsh Masters Athletics Ltd (WMAL), has just handed out four new Welsh Masters’ record certificates to three exceptional athletes after their times were noted and later verified.
They include Cardiff AC W35 athlete Samantha Gamble who achieved two separate records in the 60m and 400m events, in addition to M35 athlete Michael Dickens (Telford AC), who created a new record in the 60m, and M55 athlete Geoff Brimble (Newport Harriers), who also claimed a new record for the 3000m.
Samantha’s WMAL records were set at the Indoor 200m race on 25/2/24 at Lee Valley of 27.55i, and for the 400m at Nuneaton of 60.89 seconds on 31/7/22.
Michael Dickens set his 60m indoor record in Torun, Poland, on 27/3/23, with a time of 7.23 seconds, whilst Geoff Brimble ran 10.08.79 in the 3000m race indoors at Cardiff on 15.12.24. All three WMAL members have since received special certificates in recognition of their outstanding achievements.

In relation to Geoff Brimble's "record" for Welsh M55 for 3000 metres, can I refer you to Martin Rees (Neath Harriers) 9:08.3 for 3000 metres at Neath on 22 July 2008.
