BIg win for James Sunday 25 February 2018

A cold but glorious day with a clear blue sky and a light breeze provided perfect conditions for the Welsh cross country championships at Singleton Park, Swansea, yesterday.

And Cardiff's James Hunt took full advantage of the conditions to race to a convincing win in the senior men's race and claim his first senior championship title. Along with Dan Nash, who took the bronze medal, James was in the leading group from the gun and, when pre-race favourite Dewi Griffiths was forced to drop out, took control of the race and was never headed.

Bethan walks it Sunday 18 February 2018

Leading from the gun, Cardiff's Bethan Davies lapped every other athlete in the race to win the gold medal in the 5,000m walk at the British Athletics indoor championships in Birmingham today in a time of 21:25.37.

The dominant athlete in the race, Bethan set an inaugural indoor British record for the distance and was less than four seconds outside her outdoor best, showing excellent form in preparation for the Commonwealth Games in April.

Fourth Gwent League Monday 12 February 2018

The fourth round of the 2017-18 Gwent Cross Country League was held at Pontypool Park yesterday in freezing conditions with snow and wind as well as the challenge of the most hilly course that many of the athletes will have encountered.

Although the team was depleted owing to the Welsh indoor junior championships and the Welsh 10k road championship on the same weekend, 56 Cardiff athletes all represented the club with pride and strength; and all of them finished their races when there was a large number who did not, so every Cardiff athlete should hold his or her head high.

Welsh junior championships Sunday 11 February 2018

Cardiff AAC vests were on display yesterday at the first day of the Welsh Athletics junior championships held at Cardiff's NIAC and plenty of championships medals were won including thirteen golds.

James Vincent was an easy winner of the under 20 men's 1500 and Jeremiah Azu was a clear winner of the under 20 men's 60m.
