It’s official. The results are finally confirmed. So massive congratulations to both our Female and Male Masters & Seniors who have achieved their best ever placings in the British Team Decathlon competitions.

The Men’s team finished 9th out of 501 teams, up one position from 2017, to once again be the highest place Men’s club in the East Region.

Our Ladies, who competed in far fewer qualifying races, meanwhile broke into the top 100 for the first time to finish 92nd out of 435 teams. They were the third highest Bedfordshire Masters club, behind South Beds Masters and Flitwick.

Six gold, three silver and two bronze medals where won by our men at the Midland Masters helping them up to 17th place in the GB Masters Team Decathlon. Our Ladies are now in 76th place. Read here for further details

After some impressive performances at Newmarket, as of 20th May, our Ladies are in 59th place out of 293 teams in the GB Women’s Team Decathlon competition. (This interim position has been achieved with just 19 out of a potential maximum 40 qualifying races.). Karen Mackenzie (aged 45), Michelle Neal (38), Sonia Bentley (50)  and Sharon Thompson (51) are our top four Ladies, so far, but Lorraine Sadler (47) and Gwen Skingley (36) are not far behind with their points totals.

To date our top four for the Men’s Team competition are Alastair Gibb (58) Dave Wright (57), John O’Rourke (49) and Malcolm Barton (62). The Men are in 23rd place, having competed so far in 31 qualifying races. (The results of the EDSC Masters Meet last weekend, where Alastair, John and Malcolm had the “pleasure” of a heat of the 400IM all to themselves have yet to be included.)

The club’s position in both team competitions will undoubtedly change following swims this weekend at the Midland Masters and then the GB Masters down in Plymouth next month.

All ten of our Masters who competed at the 5th Newmarket Masters Meet each came away with at least two medals contributing to a total of 9 Gold, 12 Silver and 11 Bronze medals. Read here for a full report and how our Ladies outshone the Men.
