George Cummings Road Relays – 28/09/2013

Posted on September 30, 2013 by kirksm

This event took place last Saturday in Houston, Renfrewshire in what turned out to be a beautiful summers day.  The course is a hilly 2.7 miles and Lasswade AC entered a Male and Female team.

The men got off to great start with one of our new members Peter Avent on the lead leg finishing 5th in a very swift time of 13.52 to hand over to another one of our newer athletes Rowan Marr.  Rowan one of our under 20’s ran a strong leg to keep us inside the top 10 in 8th position with a time of 15.02. Taking over from Rowan was John Murray who ran a solid leg in a time of 15.17, John was in 11th place when he handed over to Ross Henderson for the glory leg!  Ross another one of our younger athletes who has just moved up to under 20 age group this season ran a strong leg, running on his own for most of the way to finish 12th in a time of 15.58.

The women also got off to a great start with Amy Frankland, another of our under 20 athletes, running strongly to finish 6th in a time of 16.31 to hand over to Keira Murray.  Keira must have ran one of the fastest legs of the day for the ladies with a very quick time of 15.18 bringing us up to 2nd place! All set for an exciting last leg with 2nd and 3rd place taking off virtually neck and neck , our final runner was Debra Murray who ran a strong leg to finish in 5th position in a time of 17.57.

Great to see the younger athletes in these teams .

Well done to everyone who competed on the day.

Message from Ross Matheson

Posted on September 1, 2013 by kirksm

Lasswade athlete Ross Matheson has just moved to the USA to study at the University of New Mexico,  Albuquerque. Ross will hopefully be posting regularly on our website to let us know how things are going in the states so please remember to check it out for updates. Ross is also on twitter https://twitter.com/MathesonRoss for those of you who use twitter.

In the meantime David Hand contacted Ross to see how he was settling in and Ross sent the following reply.

Arrived safely and settling in well.  The weather is good and I seem to be coping with the altitude pretty well.  I have only been doing easy runs this week to try to acclimatise,  I will do my first session next week.

Congratulations to the men’s team on the result in Aberdeen. That’s an achievement in itself to stay in division 1, hopefully with a stronger team next year we’ll see us moving into the top spots overall for the league.

I saw Guy’s result which is great. Hopefully with consistent injury free training me and Greg can join him in the run up to the games.

It was good hearing from you.

Speak soon,

Ross
