LASSWADE ATHLETIC CLUB

The final East District Cross Country League Match of this winter season took place at Broxburn last Saturday.

The race was once again well supported by Lasswade AC  with 45 athletes from the club competing on a crisp and cold Saturday afternoon.

Our man on the scene Callum Clark has produced a report of the day’s events for us with a selection of photographs from the races.  Please click East District League – broxburn (1) to view it.  For the full results please visit the Scottish athletics website by clicking here

Myself, Linda and Dave Hand would like to thank all athletes, parents, helpers and reporters (Callum) for their support at these league matches over the winter.  It has been fantastic to see the club so well represented at these meetings and so many athletes doing well.

The main race of the cross country season, the National Cross Country Championships,  takes place in Falkirk in just over a month.

Hope to see most of you there!

The Inter District Cross Country match took place at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh on Saturday as part of the Great Edinburgh International Cross Country Event.

There were four Lasswade AC athletes  selected for this event. Unfortunately, Ross Matheson was injured and had to withdraw, however the other three athletes all performed very well.

In the boys race, under 13 age group,  Magnus Tait ran a great race working his way through the field to finish inside the top 10 in 9th position.  Photograph below shows Magnus after his race with his sister Sarah and club team mate Susan Scobie.  Sarah and Susan both competed in the open race with Sarah proudly showing her trophy for 2nd place and Susan her finishers medal!

Lauren Dickson competing in the girls race, under 13 age group,  ran a fantastic race to finish just outside the medals in 5th position in a very close run in to the finish.

In the under 17 women,  Amy Frankland showed why she has earned selection for Scotland with another fine performance finishing 5th.

It was a fantastic day of athletics and great to see all the Lasswade AC athletes doing so well.

Well done to you all!

We hope that everyone had an enjoyable time over the Christmas period with their families and friends.

The New Year is almost upon us and we would like to thank everyone for their support in 2012 and wish you all the very best for 2013!

The final East District Cross Country League match takes place in just under two weeks on 12/01/2013.  We have had great support from athletes and parents for the first two matches that took place in Stirling and Livingston.  Lasswade AC are doing well and are well placed in a number of age groups, however in order to maintain or improve our position we need your support at this final league match.

It would be fantastic to see as many Lasswade AC athletes taking part as were at Livingston so please make every effort to compete at this event.
