Crownpoint, 25th August 2024
Well done to all the Lasswade athletes, officials and helpers at the final CSSAL League competition of 2024. It was probably one of the wettest competitions I’ve ever attended and whilst it was never torrential, it was fair to say that it was “character building”
Apart from the 10 minute break in the rain that coincided with the officials having their 20 minute respite from the conditions, the rain was pretty much relentless. Despite this, there were still some good races to watch from under the umbrellas with a double victory in the Senior Mens 400m from Petter and Murray.
Olivia Meikle won her 800m race for the senior women and James T won the B race in the U17s 100m. I’m sure there were many more great performances but it was hard to see whilst hiding from the rain
Provisionally, we finished in fourth place in the league which is a great result after promotion last year. Well done to all the athletes who competed over the three fixtures and hopefully we can see more turning out for the competition next season.
