…
The schools international took place this weekend at Grangemouth with two Lasswade AC athletes selected for Scotland. The conditions were not ideal for fast times with a strong cool wind, welcome to summer in Scotland!
Cameron Steven finished 3rd in a slow tactical 800m race with very exciting and fast last 200m. Lauren took part in the 1500m race, this was also a very slow race over the first few laps with the race only really starting over the last 600m. Lauren finished in 8th place.
The photo’s below show Cammy and Lauren looking very smart in their Scotland kit and Cammy receiving his medal.
Well done to both athletes!

Volunteer required. CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
In preparation for the club championships in September we are looking for a volunteer to take on the administration of athletes, event allocation and collection of race fees. This role has been carried out by Dave McConnell who wishes to step back but has offered to support the person prepared to take it on. He has the necessary spreadsheets / documents from last year so should not take long to get up to speed
Any person interested please contact Brian Hood CDO via email at brianh3010@gmail.com or message me via the club facebook page.
To pinch a J.F Kennedy quote.
“Ask not what Lasswade AC can do for you but what you can do for Lasswade!! ”
Please, If we don’t get your support we cant push ahead.
Thanks in anticipation
Brian
Club development officer
