Two WRs at British nationals; Peters denied sweep
World champ and WR man Stephen Peters was on track to sweep the M50 60, 200 and 400 at the British masters indoor nationals over the weekend in Cardiff. But after running a 23.88 heat in the 200, he was listed as DNF in the final — won by Alasdair Ross in 24.80. Dr. Peters won the 60 in 7.60 and the 400 in 55.04. Not bad for a 53-year-old. Also in M50, David Wilcock won the 1500 in a nifty 4:30.01. In the M70 3000 walk, Arthur Thomson set a world record of 15:39.27, the site says. That betters the listed WR of 16:07.46 by American Jack Bray in 2003. W60 Val Parsons was off her recent WR in the 60 of 8.75, but won that event in 8.83 and the 200 in a WR 29.48 (just under Nadine O’Connor’s record from 2005 of 29.51.)
