Sunny but windy conditions met our athletes as they participated in Match 2 of the Youth Development League. After struggling to field enough numbers for a team in Match 1, team manager was able to field a significantly stronger pool of athletes.
There are still gaps particularly in the hurdle events so anyone who fancies having a go please LET A COACH KNOW !!
That said a huge improvement from our first YDL. 3 rd place this time and only 4 points of a second place

Well done to all athletes, Team Manager Linda Smith and all her helpers.
Also a big thank you again to officials for making things happen and run so smoothly and to time.
The East District Championships took place over the Friday and Saturday 22&23 May 2015. Lasswade had good representation across most track and field events. Represented in no fewer than 29 Events Athletes medalled in 18 of them. Personal Bests are way too many to mention however there were 8 Gold Medals, 8 Silver Medals and 2 Bronze Medals. Not a bad haul I am sure you will agree !!!
Congratulations to all athletes striving to constantly improve, to Coaches and Parents for seeing the fruits of their labour and finally to all officials particularly those from the Club who have made this a particularly successful event.
Included a breakdown of all Lasswade performances having trawled all 39 pages of results. I have hopefully captured all of you but would ask you let me know if I have missed someone out. East district results . docx

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that entries for this event close on 6 May 2015.

It would be great to a big entry of Lasswade athletes at this event.
Livingston Open Graded
Only one adult sprinter and one u15 Lasswade AC representative at Livingston AC’s open graded last night. Whilst both ran well it left me thinking why were there not more Lasswade runners, throwers and jumpers ?
These events are fantastic opportunities for our younger athletes to be blooded in some competition. There are children of all standards so they can compete without the pressure of team competition.
Grangemouth have an open graded on 6 May and for the East Lothian a meeting on 9 May. Both are taking entries now. If we want to compete in FVL and YDL leagues these meetings are a good way to prepare them for competition. It also provides performances that allow coaches to make selections for team events.
Come on give them a try.
For last nights results
