Congratulations (again!) to Jasmine Wilkins and Etienne Maughan, who both improved their own Senior Women's club records whilst competing in the British Universities Championships on 23rd February.

• Jasmine's time of 7.60 seconds for the 60m beats the old record by two-hundredth of a second.
• Etienne's time of 8.36 seconds for the 60m hurdles beats the old record by four-hundredths of a second.

Jasmine's 7.62 is also an Under 20 Women's record for the club.

Etienne and Jasmine both reached the final of their events, with Etienne finishing fourth and Jasmine sixth.

Well done to both!

In addition to Tenny James winning the M65 60m Hurdles at the British Masters Indoor Championships at Lee Valley on Saturday (Tenny Wins British Masters Gold), there were other Bedford athletes in action too over the weekend.

There were victories for:

• Bob Kingman   3.70 metres M50 Pole Vault
• Edith Caux        76.55 meteres W65 400m

Jemma Eastwood also set a new club W45 Pole Vault record of 3.30 metres, but as she was unable to compete in the W45 competition on the Sunday she non scored in the Men's Competition on the Saturday. Her performance was the best W45 performance by about 1 metre, but technically she did not win the W45 PV Championships.

The other Bedford competitors were:

• Steve Bass 4th M50 60m Hurdles  9.92 secs
• Peter Benedickter 4th M50 400m  58.93 secs
• Oriana Johnson 4th W60 Shot 6.80m
• Graeme Packman 4th M65 Shot 8.68m

The UK Athletics Indoor Championships took place in Birminghams on 17th and 18th February.  There were some fine performances from Bedford and County Athletes.  Etienne Maughan finished seventh in the 60m Hurdles final in 8.61 seconds, having qualified in second place in her heat in a new club record of 8.40 seconds.  Jasmine Wilkins made it through to the semi-final of the 60m, where her 7.62 seconds is also a new club record, beating the old record that she shared with Etienne by one hundredth of a second.  In the men's 3000m Jack Goodwin was close to his PB whilst finishing 11th in a time of 8:02.88.

Well done to Etienne, Jasmine and Jack on their fine performances.

Congratulations to Tennyson James, who won the M65 60m Hurdles gold at the British Masters Indoor Championships at the weekend.
