Well done to Welsh Master and Newport Harrier sprinter Juliet Sidney (*pictured above) for her tremendous performances at the Midlands Masters Track & Field championships last month at Nuneaton, and for setting a new Welsh Masters club record in the 100m race.

Juliet, who is also the website manager for Welsh Masters Athletics Ltd (WMAL), won two gold medals in the W55 100m and 200m races, and her time of 13.86 seconds in the 100m event set a new PB and a remarkable record.

After the event Juliet confirmed: “A great day at the Midland Masters Championships. Thanks to all the officials and organisers. Wonderful to see so many masters friends. All my team-mates smashed it. I won two golds in the W55, 100 and 200 metres.

“A new age cat PB and getting closer to my all-time PB in the 100 13.86, and my fastest outdoors for 7 years in the 200, 29.06. Feel there is more to come and a couple more races before Sweden to keep improving.”

*And this week Juliet has received a special commemorative certificate of achievement from Chris Pruski, the records coordinator from WMAL, which confirmed: ‘Congratulations to Juliet Sidney on a new Welsh Masters club record set at Nuneaton on 23rd June 2024.
