ATHLETIC TITLE
Seven New Records Set Up
European 400 metres champion Surgeon-Liout John Wrighton RN and Empire javelin title- holder LAC Colin Smith were among seven record-breakers at the Inter-Services Athletic Championships at the RAF Station, Uxbridge last week!
When one remembers the number of world class athletes who have competed at this meeting in the past during their National Service, seven new records was a thing to wonder at. Smith's 226 ft 4 ins for instance, was as much as.25 feet better than the existing distance, while Wrighton hared round the quarter-mile in 47.8 secs.
