The quartet of Clieo & Ella Stephenson, Laura McDonald & Vicky Mitchell was unbeaten for two years while in the U13 age group and during that time set a new County record of 53.6secs at Bedford on 20 May 2007 as well as being ranked no 1 in the country for 2007.
At the same ceremony, CoNAC stalwart John Maskell was recognised as Volunteer of the Year for his unerring support & commitment to athletics.
