Filton Track Opens with 3k flourish

The new Bristol athletics track was formally opened on Tueday night, by Kenyan 3000m legend Kip Keino. The Kenyan Olympic team will use Bristol as a base for their final Olympic preparations in 2012, and will doubtless be making use of the new, improved facilities. To celebrate the equation, a men's and women's 3000m took place, with Debbie Marsden invited to run in the ladies race. She did the club proud, finishing 4th in a competitive event, won by Imogen Ainsworth in a wind affected 10.04. Debbie's time of 10.25, was just seconds behind 3rd place Hannah Alderson.
