LASSWADE ATHLETIC CLUB

Lasswade had three teams in action at yesterdays SAIL Finals, at the Emirates Arena. Having qualified through finishing in a top three position, in the league, the Under 13 Girls, Under 17 women and Under 20 Men’s teams again turned in some fine performances at the final.

Unfortunately all three teams finished outside the medals, however showed they are more than capable of competing against some of the strongest clubs in the country. After having one team qualify for last years event, it was also a sign of progress that we were able to get three teams through this time.

Final Positions:

• U13 Girls: 6th
• U17 Women: 4th
• U20 Men: 4th

Alongside the Team Age group final was the relay competition. Again Lasswade had three teams in action:

• U13 Boys: Shane Majekodunmi, Josh Nicholson, Alasdair Brown, Ramsay Blair
• U17 Women: Mia Downie, Hannah Officer, Abbie Malinowski, Kirsty McEwing, Lauren Meikle
• U20 Men: Jamie Darling, Ben Keay, Murray Blair, William Darling

The Under 17 Women produced a great run in the heats to qualify for the final. The Under 20 Men, competing in a straight final, finished outside the medals however produced a solid performance. The Under 13 Boys were not able to make the finals in a highly competitive group, however all ran well.

Results for the relays are not yet available, but will be posted when they become so.
