Coach Basil Sakasov said all the Wingham club memkers had a very good day, equaling or bettering their personal bests. "It was very, very exciting and very much enjoyed." He also noted it was a thrill to hear announcements over the public address system at the Metro Track and Field Centre that someone from Wingham had won a heat or was leading in an event, drawing puzzled looks from members of some of the larger clubs who had never heard of Wingham before. Topping the medal - winners was Anna Sakasov with two silver medals in the Bantam division, in the 50m hurdles which she ran in a. time of 9.2 seconds and the shot-put with a throw of 7.28 rrietres.
