Posted on August 15, 2014 by kirksm

Hi everyone,

Our Commonwealth Games star athletes, Greg Louden and Guy Learmonth will both be at training on Monday 18 August 2014.

Guy reached  the final of the 800m finishing 6th with a fantastic time and new personal best of 1.46.69.

Greg was part of the 4x400m team who finished 5th in the final. They also set a new Scottish record of 3.03.94 in the heats beating the previous record set over 24 years ago at the Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand.

 

 

Both Greg and Guy are going to go around the training groups on Monday night and chat to the athletes and coaches. They will be more than happy to answer questions and have photo’s taken with athletes so remember your phones!

We are very lucky to have athletes competing at the highest level. Please make every effort to get to training on time or even a little early and if you have any questions for Guy and Greg then get them ready!

Also if anyone was at the games and has a programme that they would like signed then remember to bring it.

See you all on Monday.

It was great to see Greg Louden training at Dalkeith Campus last night. Greg who has been selected to compete in the Scottish 4x400m team at the commonwealth games was more than happy to have a photograph taken with some of the younger Lasswade AC athletes.

Thanks Greg and the best of luck to you and the rest of the team from all of us at Lasswade AC.

Queen’s Baton Relay

Posted on June 16, 2014 by kirksm

Congratulations to all the Lasswade AC athletes and coaches who had the honour of carrying the Queen’s Baton through Midlothian today, 16 June 2014.  It was a fantastic day and the girls all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was wonderful to see the club so well represented at this event. It was also great to see so many people (Lasswade coaches, officials, athletes,  parents, family and friends) out on the course supporting the girls. Thanks to everyone for their support and helping to make this such a memorable day.

Hi David,
Good to hear from you! Thanks for the wishes about PB and all else too. Things really cranking up with me, obviously very busy but extremely excited for the Games now, just have to keep the head down and keep working away. I’ll be knocking out these1.45s soon enough!
Send my regards to everyone at Lasswade.
Hope you’re well too!
Speak soon,
Guy
