There was lots of action up and down the country at the weekend with Lasswade athletes taking part in the London Marathon, the opening fixture of the Forth Valley League for young athletes, the 4J Studios Scottish Athletics National Outdoor Open and the Scottish Athletics Junior Hill Running League.
Alec Miller was the sole Lasswade athlete at Linwood for the National Outdoor Open. His 1.91m in the high jump was good enough for 2nd place and was also a new PB.
In the London Marathon, Amy Frankland, winner of our VMH Solicitors Lasswade 10 Mile Road Race in March clocked a fantastic time of 2:55:37. Gareth Fleming was our other representative in London and completed the course in 3:25:58.
We also had two young athletes representing Scotland in the London Mini-Marathon races. Freya was 1st Scottish girl home (11th overall) and Cerys 4th Scot (23rd overall) and helped Scotland win the team bronze.
Francis and Rowan took part in the 2nd fixture of the Scottish Junior Hill Running League at Lomonds of Fife. Francis, having won the 1st fixture in the under 15s age group, finished first again. Rowan made it a double for Lasswade by winning the under 20s age race.
