WORCESTER club veteran aces helped Team GB to fourth place in the medals table at the World Masters Indoor Athletics Championships.

The women produced a range of eye-catching performances in Torun, Poland, at a competition which attracted more than 4,000 entries from across the globe including a 103 year old from India.

The Midlands Veterans League competitors from Worcester included medallists Iris Holder and Mel Garland.

Holder was sixth in the W75 60m final in 11.52 seconds and fifth in the long jump with a leap of 2.67 metres but saved her best for the triple jump with 6.25m earning second spot for a silver medal.

Garland made the W55 semis at both 60m in 9.08 and 200m in 31.11 but did not progress to the finals.

In the high jump she did 1.36m to equal her season’s best and secure sixth place.

Garland's lifetime best of 9.72m for fourth in the triple jump would have been a Great Britain record but Gloucester's Jo Willoughby went even further.

The Worcester athlete secured silver in the long jump though with a British best of 4.73m.

Garland also collected a bronze as the 4x200m relay team clocked two minutes 3.51 seconds.

Jan Timberlake entered a large number of W50 events with the highlight being fourth in the 4x200m relay with GB finishing in 2.03.43.

She was 10th in the high jump with a season's best of 1.30m and seventh in the triple jump thanks to a leap of 9.05m.

In the long jump Timberlake managed another season's best of 4.27m for 11th and in the 60m came sixth in her heat in 9.68.

Angela Bryant had arranged to take part but suffered an injury and illness in the lead-up so decided not to travel.
