Gloucestershire County Track Championships – 24th August 2011

The County track championships at the Prince Of Wales stadium in Cheltenham had Bourton runners collecting a hoard of medals.

Starting with the 4 by 100m our men won the vet 40 gold with an impressive final leg by Robin MacDonald rolling back the years showing great track speed. He was well supported by Brian Hulcup, Andy Chapple and Ewen Smith.

Bourton Ladies won the vet 50 Gold with Liz Hulcup, Lynn Hudson, Jan Short and GUEST Deb Southgate giving a gutsy performance.

The 10k was next, with a brilliant 2nd place and 1st vet 40 for a very much in-form Mike Smith. This was his best time in a number of years; Mike showed that hard work and decent training pays off with an extremely quick 32:25.

Ewen Smith won vet 40 silver with a solid 37:06. Back from injury, Andy Chapple had a great run in 38:43 and an elated Tony Goodwill claimed vet 50 gold, breaking the 40-minute mark in 39:58.

Our ladies performed as well in the 10k, with Gill Carrick vet 45 gold in 48:01 and Jan Short 2nd vet 45 in 48:28 claiming silver.

A tired Mike Smith then took on the mile and still managed a 5:14 with no rest.

Bourton finished the night with two more gold medals in the 4 by 400m vet 40 men’s and woman’s events. The men’s team was Robin (who again was our star runner), Brian, Mike and Ewen. Our ladies Liz Hulcup, Lynn Hudson, and guests Christine Campbell and Deb Southgate.

At the White Horse 5km with a good turn out and quality field Mike Smith led the way in 6th place and first vet 40 in a fast 16:14.

Next was Dennis Walmsley as 2nd vet 40 in 16:33. Conor Shoemark held off Ian Macdougall for 1st under-17 in 17:03 with Ian 1st vet 50 in 17:07.
