"TAFF" DAVIES IN AW FEATURE
One of the most prodigious runners ever produced in North Wales is featured in the current issue of Athletics Weekly (May 9).
Tecwyn "Taff" Davies, from St Asaph, had a serious car accident several years ago, injuring his foot, but in his prime was one of Britain's most successful veterans on road and country.
A member of Aldershot, Farnham and District, he was a quartermaster in the army, making more than 100 representative appearances between 1967 and 1983.
He was outright winner of the national vets' cross-country championships five times in six years while in the 40-49 class and after turning 50 in 1988 set a new over-50 10k record of 30.35, which still stands today. He won the North Wales cross-country championships three times, in 1976, 1977 and 1980, all in Denbigh.
Now 75, he still plays golf and has a handicap of 15, and he still takes a keen interest in the activities of his former athletic club where he is regarded with huge respect.
