Biography

Oldall became the national pentathlon champion after winning the British WAAA Championships title at the 1967 WAAA Championships.[1][2]

After finishing second behind Mary Peters at the 1970 WAAA Championships, she represented England at the British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland, finishing sixth in the high jump.[3]

Oldall married George Honour in late 1970 and competed under her married name thereafter,[4] which started with her regaining the national pentathlon title at the 1971 WAAA Championships.[5]

Three years later she represented England in the 100 metres hurdles and pentathlon events, at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand.[6][7][8]
