UKA photographic policy for stadiums and clubs (2017)

Grangemouth Stadium was the venue for last weekends Scottish Athletics National Relay Championships. Lasswade AC took through four teams, three competing in the 4 x 100m sprint relays and one in the 3 x 800m race. On another successful day for the club two teams came away with medals. With the U15 Girls and U17 boys ( 4 x100m ) both breaking the previous Club Record Time for their events.

The Girls Under 15 team was made up of Anna Burnside, Mia Downie, Elena Clarke and Abbie Malinowski. In the morning heats the girls posted a  new Club Record time of  52.05 to qualify third fastest for the final, behind Central AC and Edinburgh AC.  Another fine run in the final secured the Bronze medal for the team, with Gold going to Edinburgh AC and Silver to Central AC. The girls final time of 52.22, although not quite as fast as in qualifying, also beat the previous Club Record for the event.

The3 x 800m relays took place in the afternoon, being decided in a one off final for each age group. Lasswade AC had one team entered at this distance, the Mens Under 17 team of Euan Hood, Magnus Tait and Christian Graham. In a hard fought race the Lasswade team ran a strong race throughout, finishing with a well earned Bronze medal, in a time of 6.21.95. Winners on the day were Falkirk Victoria Harriers with Kilbarchan finishing runners up.

Two other Lasswade AC teams were in action on the day with both producing fine performances. The Girls Under 17 team of Stephanie Ogg, Georgia Jones, Heather Mack and Shona Gristwood ran a fine race, finishing in a time  of  53.39, unfortunately  this left them outside of the medals.

The Mens  U17 team was made up of Lewis Kerr, Jordan Bathgate, Angus Cousin and Murray Blair. A time of 48.31s in the second of the mornings heats was enough not only to secure qualification for the final, but break the previous Club Record for this event by some distance. The previous record had stood at 50.10s.

AGM and Awards Presentations

The club’s annual AGM will be taking place this Wednesday, 15th March, at Newbattle Golf Club. Start time is 7.00pm. In addition to the AGM the annual Endeavour Awards and Cross Country Awards will be presented to athletes. Freya Ross, who recently came along to give a presentation for the club, has agreed to come along and make the presentations.

After starting out with Lasswade AC, Freya has gone on to have a highly successful career in athletics. Among her many achievements she has represented GB, in the marathon, at the 2012 Olympics and Scotland, in the 5000 and 10000m at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. It will be great to have her back to make the presentations to our current crop of athletes.

Everyone involved with the club is welcome to come along on the night, and we are hoping that as many of our award winners as possible will be able to attend.
