May 26-28th
There were lots of Lasswade athletes in action over the weekend, both near and far!
Friday night saw the first Livingston Open Graded of the season. A lovely warm night for athletics. A number of PBs for our athletes including Moray in the 600m taking 3 seconds off the time he ran less than a week ago. Will who has had a number of PBs already this season in the 400m also got a PB in the 800m running 2m13.73. Eloise faced a strong headwind in the home-straight of the 200m but still managed a new PB of 27.80m. Petter has also been trying his hand at the long jump and has been improving with each jump finished with a PB of 5.36m.

On Saturday, Rowan represented Scotland in the Mountain Cup in Annecy, France and finished in 23rd place. Rowan tackled the 4.7km course which featured an 200m+ climb in 19m35s and came home as the 2nd counter for Scotland.
superTeams – Saughton Sports Complex
A glimpse into the future of Lasswade Athletics… 13 of Lasswade’s Under 12s competed at the superTEAMS event at Saughton Sports Complex in Edinburgh today. Alisa, Cara, Corrie, Gemma, Isla all competed for the first time and did themselves proud.
All athletes take part in three events each and performances converted into points to score points for the team.
Whilst none of our teams qualified for the finals, most of our athletes are still young enough to compete again next year (and for some, even the year after that!) so will have gained valuable experience from this time around.
Well done to all who took part and thanks to the coaches who helped prep the kids for today. Thanks to our officials Susan and Linden and of course, our hosts (Corstorphine AAC and Harmeny AC) who organised the competition.
A reminder to all U11s, U13s and U15s…. Our next competition is the Forth Valley League on the 17th June at Grangemouth. The events/timetable for this match are on the website along with the sign-up form. http://www.lasswade-ac.org.uk/club/track-field-comps-fixtures/
