Busy weekend of Athletics across country
Posted by Nobody on 9 May 2016
It was a busy weekend for our athletes as both the Mens and Womens teams competed in their league matches. Saturday morning also had plenty of athletes out looking to get new personal bests for the season, in dry but windy conditions.
The Mens team who were promoted as Champions of Division 2 started their campaign in Scotland's First Division with a fantastic 4th place. Given that our 9 man team could only participated in 24 out of the 38 events, but achieving 2nd place in the field events, this was an outstanding performance. There were many fine performances from across the team, with Liam Fotheringham improving his U20 200m club record, set just last week, to a new best of 22.60(-3.5w). The men's relay team of Michael Downie, Jack Garrigan, Liam Fotheringham & Joel McFarlane also equalled the club record in the 4x100m Relay at 44.42s.
The club also had 8 members competing for the Tayside team in the Womens League in Aberdeen on Sunday. The Tayside team finished 3rd overall and the club's athletes, Michelle Durbidge, Ellen Roberston, Anna Robertson, Shona Townsend, Aillie Townsend Gabby Jaugaite, Iona Mcfarlane & Isla Whitton all gained valuable points in their various events.
The full list of results from all this weekends competitions are available on the results tab.
