In contrast, there were no records in the senior men's categories, although Oxford City's Russell Young produced a splendid run to beat former international Carl Afilaka in the 100m in 11.2.

However, there was a new championship record in the under 20 men's 100m as Duah Seidu (The Army) triumphed in 11.0.
