It was a golden day for the club’s athletes at today’s U18 & U20 Age Group Championships at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.

Ellen Kristoffersen set the ball rolling in the morning by winning the U18 Women’s Long Jump (5.41m), before further golds followed from Katie Purves in an impressive 60m Hurdles comeback (8.89s), Jordan Charters, U20 Men’s Long Jump (6.48m), and Robert Ferguson U20 Men’s High Jump (1.95m).

There was further success in the U18 Women’s age group as Ellen took silver in the High Jump (1.65m), and Rachel Robertson bronze in the Triple Jump (10.73m).  Rachel also finished 4th in the Long Jump (5.20m).

Sophie Elder finished 6th in the U20 Women’s 400m final (63.10), and Jordan Charters finished 2nd in his 200m heat (23.78s).

It was encouraging to see a good number of club athletes competing at this level – well done to them all, and good luck to our athletes competing in the U14 & U16 Age Group Championships tomorrow.

The Club’s U20 Women were crowned Scottish Indoor League champions at Glasgow’s Emirates Commonwealth Indoor Arena on Sunday.

This is another great achievement for this team, who have previously won the Scottish Indoor League title at U13, U15 and U17, before taking this year’s U20 title at the first time of asking, with a team which included four 16 year olds.

The team’s results were: Rachel Robertson – Long Jump – 1st (5.32m), 200m – 2nd (26.8s), Ellen Kristoffersen – High Jump – 1st (1.60m), Erin Feeley – Shot Putt – 1st (8.52m), 60m Hurdles – 3rd, Sarah Szymanski – Triple Jump – 1st (8.80m), 60m – 5th (9.34s), Amy Frankland – 800m – 1st (2:32.1), and Sophie Elder – 1st – 400m.

Four of the team (Sarah Szymanski, Sophie Elder, Ellen Kristoffersen and Rachel Robertson) also competed in the 4 x 200m Relay competition, where they finished second to add another silver medal to their tally.

The club also had an U20 men’s team (Charlie Carstairs, Sean Hadden, Jordan Charters and Elson Musenga) who finished second in their heat of the 4 x 200m Relay, and an U13 Boys’ team (Murray Blair, Brodie McQuorquodale, Connor McCabe and Guy McGarry ) who finished 4th in their heat.
