Report by Kirk Smith
Lasswade AC is proud to celebrate the outstanding career of Guy Learmonth, who has announced he will retire at the end of this track season. From his early days as a talented club junior athlete to becoming one of Scotland’s fastest ever 800m runners, Guy’s journey has been remarkable.
He broke the Scottish U20 800m record multiple times, set national age?group championship records, and quickly rose to become one of Britain’s brightest young athletes.
Guy went on to represent Scotland and Great Britain at the Commonwealth Games, European Championships, and World Indoor and Outdoor Championships, achieving a superb personal best of 1:44.73 – ranking him fourth all?time in Scotland.
A four?time British Indoor Champion and a consistent international performer, Guy has been an inspiration to athletes across the club and beyond.
Lasswade AC extends its warmest congratulations to Guy on an exceptional career and wishes him every success in the future. His achievements will remain a proud part of our club’s history.
