Father and son Dave and Steve Gardner celebrated once again after breaking four Welsh Masters records at the first outdoor event of the season, during the North Wales Endurance Track and Field open meeting, held at the Deeside Stadium, Connah’s Quay, on 4th April.

Super veteran Dave competed in the javelin and the shot putt events and he won his M85 age category in both mixed age competitions to add to his many other previous and prestigious Welsh Masters Athletics championship victories and records. 

In the Javelin, his winning throw was 15.32m, and in the shot event he recorded another successful throw of 7.19m.

Steve meanwhile competed in the 1000m and in the 1500m steeplechase races, and he too won his M60 age cat in both events and smashed two Welsh T&F records. In the 1000m he recorded a very good time of 3.13.70, whilst in the 1500 steeplechase his time was 5.35.90.

*The NWRRC member also won his M60 age cat in the Welsh Sprint Duathlon Championships at Eirias Park, Colwyn Bay, on 6th April, whilst representing his second claim club GOG Triathlon.
