Sarah McGrath won a gold medal at the Horspath stadium, Oxford, in the British Masters Throws Pentathlon on the 26th May. The event entails five different types of throwing; Hammer 35.44m, Shot 10.12m, Discus 23.57m, Javelin 18.72m, and Weight 11.06m, with the scores being combined to produce the final results. Sarah threw longer distances than anyone else in all but one of these events, so there was no question about the final outcome!
Pete Thompson also participated in these championships winning a bronze medal in the 10,000m in a time of 43:51.79. Pete was in fourth place going into the final lap and managed to earn himself the bronze medal narrowly missing out on the silver medal which was won in a time of 43:50.54. The gold medallist’s time was 37:50.22.
Congratulations to Sarah and Pete!
