A number of the club’s athletes were representing their schools at the Scottish Schools’ Indoor Championships at the Kelvin Hall this week.  There were some terrific performances and quite a few medals collected by our athletes.

A list of the athletes and the events they competed in, will be posted once the full results are available.

Well done to everyone who took part.

Lasswade Athletics Club’s top young track and field athletes travelled to Glasgow recently to compete in the Scottish Closed Indoor Championships held over two days at The Kelvin Hall. 

In the Under 15 Girls’ events Katie Purves won the 60m Hurdles, and finished runner up in the 60m sprint.  Rachel Robertson claimed the silver medal in the long jump, and also finished fourth in the 200m final, while Ellen Kristoffersen took the gold in the Pole Vault.  Megan Fleming competed in the long jump and recorded a personal best in the shot putt.  Gareth Fleming competed well in the U15 Boys’ Long Jump and 60m Hurdles.

In the Under 17 Girls events Francesca Benham won gold in the shot putt, and Sarah Szymanski finished second in her 300m heat, while Katherine Szymanski finished 7^th in the high jump.

It was a good weekend for Lasswade’s athletes who now face a busy month in February with the Scottish Open Championships, Relay Championships and Scottish Indoor League matches as well as Scottish Schools Championships coming up.
