The Indoor Combined Events and Under 18 and Senior 4x200m Relay Championships took place at the Emirates in Glasgow on Saturday.
Archie was our sole competitor in the combined events, taking part in the U16 Boys Pentathlon. His 7th place overall included PBs in the 60m hurdles (9.82s), high jump (1.55m), shot putt (6.95m) and 800m (2:11.87s). His long jump of 5.46m helped him accumulate a total of 2350 points – a fantastic result against very strong opposition.
Lasswade had two teams taking part in the relays. Our Under 18 Ladies team consisted of Aoife, Morven, Emma and Beth – a strong quartet who recently qualified for SAIL Indoor League finals later this month. A 3rd place finish in their heat saw them qualify for the final in one of the non-automatic qualify places.
Despite finishing in 6th place, the girls were very strong contenders for a medal with just over a second separating the 3rd place team and Lasswade.
Lasswade’s Senior Men’s team also turned out for the relays with Jake stepping up from the under 20s and Gregor stepping “down” from the masters age group. Teamed up with Ramsay and Charlie the team finished a respectable 10th overall in the heats but did not qualify for the final.
Thanks to Ed and Coreen for the videos.
