Scottish 4 x 100m Relay Age Group Championships – Grangemouth Stadium
The club had four teams in the Scottish 4 x 100m Relay Age Group Championships at Grangemouth today, and all teams represented their club well.
The U13 Boys’ team (Alastair Scott, Dexter Howard, Harry Officer & David Malloy) finished 3rd in their heat, qualifying for the final where they finished 7th. This was a good achievement from the young team who are all still eligible for the U13 age group next season.
The U15 Boys’ team (Adam Leighton, Jamie Kinghorn, Angus Cousin & Josh Howard) were 2nd in their heat and 4th in the final, while the U15 Girls’ (Mia Downie, Michelle Blaikie, Kirsty MacEwan & Stephanie Ogg) finished sixth in their heat.
Our U17 Women’s team (Shona Gristwood, Bryony Patterson, Rachel Elder & Georgia Jones) had some changeover issues, and unfortunately never finished their heat.
This is the most teams we have had in the relay championships for a number of years, so well done to all who took part and hopefully we can have as many – if not more – teams in next year’s championships.
Scottish Senior 400 m Champion
Greg Louden built on Saturdays heat to win gold in the Men’s 400m and Jordan Charters (now with Sale Harriers ) won bronze in the Men’s long jump.

Congratulations to all Team Edinburgh Athletes , team managers, officials ,helpers and parents and coaches
Once again they have had a very successful 2016 and after an exciting match down at York University yesterday the team, which included a large number of Lasswade competitors, finished 7 points ahead of Team Glasgow yesterday, securing victory on the day and winning the league title.
This has been a real team effort with a substantial number of athletes being used in one or more of the matches.
That just leaves the small matter of the national finals on the first weekend in September in Bedford to look forward to
The club are considering putting teams in to the above relay championships.
The match date is in August, but the closing date for entries is 24th July, and with the summer holiday season now started we need to find out as soon as possible if we will have enough athletes to enter teams.
The relay championships are open to athletes aged U13, U15 and U17 from all training groups.
Can anyone who would like to be considered for the teams please contact me by Friday 8th July?
Forms for this year’s Club Championships are now in circulation. If you have yet to get one from Dave McConnell, the attachments below can be printed off completed and handed over at training to Dave
