Thank you to all the volunteers and officials who made our Club Championship happen last week. A lot of work goes into organising the competition which not only showcases our talented athletes, but also acts as an introduction to competition for those yet to represent the club.
Over 80 of our club athletes took part this year, although the outdoor track and field season is drawing to a close, there will still be plenty of opportunities to compete as the cross country season will soon be upon us and the indoor athletics competitions start in November.
Sarah Tait, Lasswade’s GB international athlete who was recently selected at this month’s World Athletics Championships taking place in Tokyo, was on hand to present the medals and trophies to our winning athletes. Thank you, Sarah, for taking the time out to spend time with our young athletes. Sarah herself joined Lasswade as an 11 year old, and competed regularly in the Forth Valley League, CSSAL League and the cross country leagues (and the Club Championship, of course!). We wish Sarah all the best in Tokyo as she competes against the world’s best 3000m steeplechasers.
Thank you also for the donations for the Teenage Cancer Trust, we collected £166 on the night.
