Worcester Athletics Masters Team enjoyed great success at the British Masters Championships.
The side travelled to Lee Valley, London, for the tournament and returned home 19 medals heavier.
The nine-strong team picked up six golds, eight silvers and five bronzes across a range of track and field events.
A club spokesperson said: “People in Worcester should be proud of their Worcester Athletics Masters Team.
“The athletes train hard two to three times a week both at the track and at local gyms to maintain their fitness which is good for both physical and mental health and general wellbeing.
“They all look forward to better times when they can again travel overseas, enjoy the international competition and attempt to bring back medals for their country.”
In February, Mel Garland headed out to the European Championships for Masters Athletes in Braga, Portugal.
Competing for team Great Britain, Garland came back with two medals.
She then linked up with her Worcester teammates for the British Masters on March 5 and 6.
Jan Timberlake, Iris Holder, Angela Bryant, Clare Gratrix, Matt Moon, Derek Jackson, Richard White and Damon Cripps completed the side that headed down to London.
Perhaps the most noteworthy performance was that of Holder who bettered the all-time British Record in Triple Jump in the W80-84 age category with a distance of 6mt 10cm.
The club spokesperson added: “That was a performance to behold and her fellow athletes and family are so very proud of her achievement.
“Iris is an inspiration to all at Worcester Athletic Club.”
