Morpeth Harrier Trevor Hodgson certainly went out all guns blazing, when he very convincingly won the Over 50 Men’s 60m Gold Medal at the British Masters Indoor Track and Field Championships, held at Lee Valley, London, at the weekend.
Not only did he win Sunday’s Final, but he did also it by producing a new personal best of 7.39s, his previous best being the 7.50s, that he had run in the Gateshead Series in January. He had earlier won his opening heat in 7.55s, from Lincoln Wellington’s Nick Johnston Davis, who eventually got fourth in the final, where the minor medals were won by Veteran AC’s Richard Brooks, and Eastern Masters Yinka Opaleye. Hodgson’s next race will be Torun in Poland in March in the European Masters Championships, as he goes in an England’s Number One, and Eleventh All Time in his age group. The 52-year-old;s confidence is certainly on a high at the moment, and the chances of adding other medals, particularly gold are also within reach, especially as he has now achieved a new North East record, and is the fastest ever for his age, and is now sixth fastest in the world this year.
