MOUNTFORD KEEPS 5-MILE TITLE
Welsh 5-mile champion David Mountford (Liverpool Harriers) retained his North Wales title with a comfortable win in Abergele. His time of 25.35 was eight seconds faster than last year.
The in-form Lee Jones (deeside) was second but the outstanding male performance was that of teenager Iolo Hughes (Menai), who finished fourth overall.
His clubmate Sarah Livett, who was second last year, sliced over a minute off her time to claim victory in 29.47 for 17th place overall. That was an under-20s' age-group record for the race.
In the championship competition no fewer than seven age-group records were broken, with Livett not only setting a new under-20s' best but it was also a new senior record, beating by one second Alexia Hamilton- Morris' 1998 time.
Georgia Garner and Brenda Jones beat their own U17 and L70 records respectively, Mountford's winning time was a new U23 best, Emma Collins beat the L50 record set by Mary Meredith (Prestatyn) in 1990 and Chris Birch's 36.41 took almost eight minutes off Brenda Jones's L65 record from 2008.
