4th/5th February, 2026
Lasswade’s athletes, this time competing in school colours returned home from the Scottish Schools Indoor Athletics championships with 1 Gold, 2 Silvers and a bronze.
Gold in the Under 16 Girls 1500m came courtesy of Imogen Turner. Imogen ran the fastest time in the heats (4:52.86) to qualify as the favourite for the final the next day. She did not disappoint in the final, winning in a time of 4:44.97. A fantastic result, completing back to back wins having won the 1500m in 2025 as well.
Morven took silver in the Under 18 Girls pole vault improving her PB to 2.50m in the process – an improvement of 35cm over the winter.
Archie returned to form in the Under 16 Boys long jump – his jump of 5.81m secured the silver and was a PB by 25cm. Archie also ran in the 300m on day 1, winning his heat in 39.61s to qualify for the final on the following day. In the final, Archie set a blistering pace over the first lap, most likely running his fastest 200m ever and finished in bronze medal position with a new PB of 38.85s.
Aoife who has been in fantastic form in the high jump and 200m this winter was unlucky not to medal in the high jump. Her jump of 1.55m was the same height as the bronze medalist, but the countback rules placed Aoife in 4th. Aoife also narrowly missed out on a place in the final of the 200m despite having run the 6th fastest time in the semi finals.
In the Under 18 Girls 400m, Beth ran a personal best to qualify for the semi finals where she achieved her 2nd PB in finishing 4th with 60.45s. Moven also qualified for the semi-finals and finished 4th in the other semi final in a time of 60.84s
In the Under 20 Boys, Jake Salter Wood reached the finals of the 200m finishing 5th with a time 23.73, slightly down on his heat time of 23.58. Jake also ran the 400m in 54.67 for 5th place in his heat.
