Mark has been training hard with his coach Mark Giglio who will also compete in the M45 100m, 200m and possibly the 400m. Mark is also hoping for PBs and a place in the finals. He will also run the 4 X 100 & 4 X 400 relays if his legs hold out.

The third sprinter is Domenic Condello who has battled injuries over the last year or so but hopes to roll out with a PB or 2 in the M45 100m, 200m and 400m events.

John Cooper has entered the M65 800m and 1500m events and hopes to break through 2:30 in the 800m and get a spot in the final.
