Scottish National Athletics League Match 1
Grangemouth , 13th April 2024
It was the beginning of the 2024 outdoor season today with the Scottish Athletics National League first match at Grangemouth today. This involves our more senior athletes in the U17 and U20 age groups.
Sophie Thomas was in good form in the 100m where she ran 12.05 secs finishing the top U17W athlete. It would have been a new Club record but a +3.3m/s wind rendered it invalid.
Darcie Black stormed home in the U20 100m hurdles in a time just outside her own Club Record. Shayna Asamoah was in new territory for her running a 400m but she finished 3rd U20W in an excellent 61.45secs which was just outside the club record but took Vicky Listers U20W record set in 2008.
There were also excellent performances on the track for Oliver Morrison in the 800m , Amy Jenkinson in the 300m and Kirstin Penman in her inaugural 100m hurdles. Darcie and Kirstin also finished 3rd and 7th in the long jump.
