The SIAB Schools international took place last weekend in Dinefwr Park, Llandeilo, Wales and Amy Frankland from Lasswade AC was selected for the Scottish team.
Amy ran very well to finish second scot and fourth overall in the schools race.
Due to the bad weather we have taken the decision to cancel the AGM which was due to take place tonight and re-schedule for Tuesday 2nd April at the same time and location.
No doubt the weather conditions will improve now that the meeting has been cancelled! However we felt that it was prudent to make this decision given the forecast for the next 24 hours and the distances that some people will have to travel.
Many thanks for your understanding and I look forward to seeing everyone on 2nd April.

Following on from the success of the club’s U18 & U20 athletes yesterday, Henry Clarkson added another medal to the club’s tally today, taking the silver medal in the U16 Boys’ Triple Jump at the Scottish U16 Age Group Championships. Henry jumped a PB of 10.99m, and also finished 6th in the Long Jump with 5.07m.
It was a golden day for the club’s athletes at today’s U18 & U20 Age Group Championships at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.
Ellen Kristoffersen set the ball rolling in the morning by winning the U18 Women’s Long Jump (5.41m), before further golds followed from Katie Purves in an impressive 60m Hurdles comeback (8.89s), Jordan Charters, U20 Men’s Long Jump (6.48m), and Robert Ferguson U20 Men’s High Jump (1.95m).
There was further success in the U18 Women’s age group as Ellen took silver in the High Jump (1.65m), and Rachel Robertson bronze in the Triple Jump (10.73m). Rachel also finished 4th in the Long Jump (5.20m).
Sophie Elder finished 6th in the U20 Women’s 400m final (63.10), and Jordan Charters finished 2nd in his 200m heat (23.78s).
It was encouraging to see a good number of club athletes competing at this level – well done to them all, and good luck to our athletes competing in the U14 & U16 Age Group Championships tomorrow.
