Jacqui sprints to win British Titles!
Veteran athlete Jacqui Hodgson (o/45) travelled to Alexander Stadium, Birmingham, recently to compete in the British Masters T & F Championships and it proved to be a very successful journey, as she appeared on the rostrum for 3 Medals, 2 of which were Gold and the other Silver.
On day 1 of the Championships she finished 2nd in the W45 100m recording a time of 13.74.Jacqui followed that up with a fine victory in the 400m recording 62.35. Then on day 2 she had a great run in the 200m recording a personal best of 27.55, a 100th of a second improvement on her already pb of 27.56, a victory which puts her currently the fastest o/45 woman in the UK 2014 rankings, a great achievement for a dedicated athlete who has had her fair share of injuries over the years, but now injury free and in a rich vein of form.
