Greg Louden came up with a good performance in the 400m at the Welsh International at Cardiff on Wednesday, finishing just one hundredth of a second outside his PB with 47.57s for second place.
Congratulations to Greg Louden and Rachel Robertson who have been selected to represent Scotland in International matches in Wales next week.
Greg will run in the 400m for the Scottish team at the Welsh International at Cardiff on Wednesday, before Rachel competes in the Long Jump for the Scottish U18 team on Saturday, at the Celtic Games, held at Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
Well done, and good luck to both athletes for their events.
Guy Learmonth and Greg Louden competed in the England Athletics U20/U23 Championships & European Trials at Bedford last weekend.
Both qualified for the final of their events, with Guy taking the U23 800m Men’s silver medal in a time of 1:50.42, and Greg finishing 5th in the U23 Men’s 400m (48.44s).
We would like to thank everyone who came along and helped at the fun run on Monday night and also all of the athletes and parents who supported the event by taking part and raising sponsor money. As always your help and support is greatly appreciated by all at Lasswade AC.
John Brash has added a post with the finishing positions and times.
The coaching sessions delivered by Sandy Robertson and Tom Hanlon at the recent coaching conference are now available on DVD at the bargain price of £1. Any coaches, athletes, parents or insomniacs who would like a copy can buy one from me at training on Monday nights.
This is a reminder that we are holding the club sponsored 5K run this Monday 10 June 2013. There will not be any specific training as all the coaches will be involved in helping with the 5K.
The 5K is run around Dalkeith Campus playing fields and grounds and is flat. It is open to parents and children.
Please remember to bring your sponsor forms along on Monday.
