Another Active Weekend

With events all over the country it was an active weekend for most of the club. This was especially true of the young athletes who went through to Grangemouth on Sunday for the Under 20 Championships and young athletes relays. In the Under 20 Championships, Johnathan Farrell qualified for the Final comfortably enough but was unfortunately run out of the medals in the Final. Then in the 200 he ran outside 23 seconds which was not fast enough to bring home a medal either. Phil and Donald plus several parents were there with a Boys Under 15 3 x 800 metres team and a Girls Under 17 3 x 800 team. The youngsters enjoyed themselves and although they were outside the first three valuable experience was gained.

Among the older athletes recently. Brian Campbell - one of the Three Amigos who have been cleaning up all the team races in England for several years now - has not been idle in recent weeks. First M65 prize at East Kilbride Half Marathon, first M60 prize at Girvan Half Marathon and first M60 prize at the Islay half marathon. Excellent work all round!
