Several of the club’s athletes were representing their schools at the Scottish Schools’ Athletics Association Indoor Championships at the Emirates Commonwealth Arena, Glasgow, on Thursday.
Top performers at the event were Ellen Kristoffersen and Rachel Robertson who maintained their impressive Scottish Schools’ Championships record over the years, as they both again returned home with medals. (Another two top performers from the club were officials Kenny Marshall and Dave McConnell, who put in a near twelve hour shift down on the track – they must be fit!)
Ellen, who had finished 5th in the Pole Vault (2.70m), the previous day, was in top form as she jumped 1.65m in the Over 16 Girls’ High Jump to take the gold medal.
It was a long day for Rachel, who won silver in the Over 16 Girls’ Long Jump (5.30m) in the morning, then in the afternoon won her 200m heat and semi-final to qualify for the final, where she finished in second place, before collecting her medal, switching the arena lights off, and going home at 8 o’ clock!
