Well done all !!

Well it was worth the wait !!
Attached are the results of match 3 of the CSSAL from Sunday 28th August at Kilmarnock
Starting the day as second bottom equal and in real danger of relegation Team Manager Morton mustered a near full squad.
All athletes stood up to the test finishing the day 3rd overall and securing their league status once again.
A huge well done to all involved throughout the campaign often covering in events that was not their first choice.
It never fails to impress what Lasswade AC can do when we get a full team out.
Andy Sobik and his team have retained their place in Division 1 of the Scottish Athletic League after a well earned 5th place finish on Saturday 27th August at Grangemouth Stadium. A happy team along with our hard working officials. Well done everyone and thanks for representing LAC.

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
Well done all !!
