Round 4 – 12/11/2022
Older Doncaster Athletes are definitely pulling their weight, coming fourth and fifth in the state! A number of records were broken, with Deb Garden, Campbell McLennan and David Firth breaking their own records. Campbell also broke Mark Purser’s record in the 200 metres and David Vaughan broke Will McCombie’s in the 800. The women broke the 4 x 100 relay record as well.
A special mention to Lydia Rinaudo who ran an Open Age National qualifying time in the 3000m Steeple.
