Lisa Bezzina ended the local Athletics Malta calendar with another win, claiming the Senior Female title, with Pembroke’s Rachel Borg and newcomer Rosalie Borg second and third respectively.
Jean Claude Randon (Raptorz AC) took home the Under 23 title, while among the Under 20s Gabriel Farrugia (Evolve EC) edged David Borg (Athletix Gozo AC). Kayla Farrugia (St Patrick’s) claimed the Under 20 female title..
