Hercules Wimbledon's women's track & field team continued their impressive start to their summer season by winning their first Southern Women's League match of the season at Wimbledon Park on Saturday.

During the afternoon, five club records were broken and Hercules Wimbledon athletes gained maximum points in six events.

Marathon runner Claire Grima gained a record-breaking double in the 1,500m and 3,000m.

She was cheered home by her two young sons, Luca and Jasper, who encouraged Grima with cries of "Come on mummy" as she raced home a clear winner in four minutes 57.7 seconds and 10:21.4 respectively to set club women's veteran over-35 records.

Other record-breakers included Alison Murray with a new veteran over-45 high jump mark; Lisa Thomas, who earlier in the day won the women's event in the Wimbledon Common parkrun, with a new veteran over-45 1,500m time, and Ann Martin with a new veteran over-50 record in the discus.
