Galpin breaks 300m record

Tuesday 03 September 2024


Abi Galpin has set another island record.

As well as already holding the women's records for the 100m, 200m, and 400m, the Sarnian star added the 300m record to her haul at the weekend.

Competing in the final Aztec Track and Field event of the season, Galpin was under pressure to succeed.

Guernsey Athletics queried whether she could get below 39seconds on Sunday - a feat she achieved in style.

Setting a new island record of 38.50 seconds, Galpin beat off the competition from a junior and a senior in doing so.

U15 Amelie Van Heerden set herself a respectable time of 41.75 seconds, while M60 entrant Chris Chalmers came in at 46.30.
