The final match of the Scottish Athletics Indoor League took place on Sunday 15th January. Always a difficult fixture with most athletes only just back in training after the Christmas break, the Lasswade team still came back with (at least) 14 personal best performances.
Some of the great performances included Lara who took 8 seconds off her 600m time and also went on to equal her PB in the 60m. Also in the U11s, Ada recorded another PB in the 60m, her third one in each of her races indoors this season.
In the U13s, Yvie who ran exceptionally well in the 200m at the last match went on to improve again running 31.34s.
Megan added 65cm to her shot putt PB in the Under 15s. Lauchie and Ruairidh had PBs in the 300m and LJ respectively.
In-form Ramsay took a staggering half second off his 60m PB to record 7.49s for 2nd place and went on to take nearly half a second off his 200m PB running 23.62s. Will set a new PB in his 800m finishing 5th overall.
The versatile Eloise got a new PB in her 800m race, finishing strongly in 2m33.92. Abbie reached out to a new PB of 3m70 in the long jump.
In the U20s, Sophie recorded a new PB in the long jump and Alec picked up some useful points in the Shot Putt – not one of his usual events and despite throwing a considerably heavier weight than the last time he did the shot putt, managed to record a new PB of 6.91m.
Whilst you can’t get a PB each time you go out and compete, the rest of Team Lasswade still put out great performances and almost everyone who didn’t get a PB came pretty close to them. Well done to everyone who competed in the league this winter. There are still some open-graded competitions coming up – check the Scottish Athletics events calendar for more information.
