Scottish Schools 3 & 4 February 2016, Emirate

Scottish Schools Athletics. Indoor championships
3&4 February 2016

Lasswade had a significant number of athletes performing in school colours over the two days. A breakdown of their performance is included below

In terms of a medals haul
Cameron Steven, Sarah Tait won silver in the 800s Henry Clarkson win silver in the long jump
Lauren Dickson won Bronze in the 1500
Bryony Patterson won bronze in the long jump

Special mentions for Abbie’s Malinowski’s performance. This was a PB time for her and at only 12 years old and still in S1 she was the youngest athlete in the semi-finals.

Also to Hannah Little who smashed her PB and just missed out on a medal in the 800. Having just turned 13 years her future attempts at the schools look very promising.
