Four athletes represented Wallasey Athletic Club at the Preston Guild Meeting last Saturday. In the Ladies mile Janice Watts finished second behind international Jean Lochhead of Airedale with a fine time of 4 min. 51.8 sec. This reduces Janice's personal best time by four seconds and brings to a close a highly successful season.
Barbara Banks came 4th in the same race in 5. min. 8 sec. and Margaret Ashcroft followed in 6th position.
Dave Lockley finished 7th in the senior men's three miles.
At Blackburn the previous Wednesday Pete Lewis returned 50.6 sec over 400 metres in windy conditions, only a fifth of a second outside his personal best.
Allan Cheers and Mike Teahan travel to Sale today to take part in a decathlon competition.
