It was a case of history repeating at the Inter-Services Athletics Championships as the army claimed the men’s and women’s team titles for an 11th successive season.
The men posted 176 points from 19 events as they finished 34 points clear of the Royal Air Force in second.
It was the same winning margin over the same opponent in the women’s field as the soldiers finished on 183.
Veteran Sgt Osman Muskwe (RAPTC) endured a busy day of action as he competed in six field events – the highlight of which was victory in the shot put with a throw of 15.04 metres. He also claimed silver medals in the discus and triple jump, along with bronze in the pole vault.
In a sign of their dominance, the men claimed the top two spots in five events, while the women sealed gold and silver in eight.
Capt Hayley Perrin (RAMS) led the way with by winning the 100 metres, long jump and 100-metre hurdles.
There were also double golds for Capt Laura Clark (REME) in the 200 and 400 metres, Capt Helen Broadbridge (AGC (ALS)) in the discus and hammer, and Sgt Roanna Vickers (RAMS) in the 1,500 metres and 2,000 metres steeplechase.
