Finally Telford AC superstar Helen Watson rounded out the 200m performances with 36.0 seconds.

Two TAC athletes went in the long jump, Ray Bacon jumped 3.10m and Jane Tench jumped 3.41m. Royal Sutton Coldfield's Janice Pryce set a new British Record for over-65s in the triple jump with 8.38m, whilst Helen Watson jumped 6.95m.
Simon Brown dominated the shot putt with an 1166.m throw, with teammate Ray Bacon throwing 8.51m and Kim Davies putting 7.18m. The discus saw similar success with Eli Barnett throwing 20.62m and Ray Bacon throwing 33.94m. In the women's discus, Branka Sukara-Fielding threw 20.91m and Telford AC's masters coach Pat Higgins threw 12.45m.
A phenomenal turnout in the throws was continued in the hammer, where Ray Bacon spun to 40.07m, Pat Higgins threw 22.12m and Jane Tench 13.52m.
The javelin was the final throw with Simon Brown throwing 31.54m, Kim Davies throwing 13.07m, and Pat Higgins throwing 13.01m.
