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.
