Doncaster athletes competed successfully at the Victorian Masters Championships at the weekend. After a see-sawing battle with David Firth over the 100 all season, Paul Mierisch capitalised on his absence by breaking the club record and picking up Silver. He also picked up Silver in the Discus and bronze in the 60 metres. Raj Chelleng had his first outing and wasn’t far behind.
Gold medallists included Nicholas Burkitt (high jump), Darryl Kilmartin (Pole vault), Campbell McLennan (800), Graham Ford (discus) and Jim Poulter (pole vault).
