Congratulations to our U15 Girls’ team who ended the 2009\/10 indoor season in style by claiming the Scottish Athletics Indoor League title at the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow on Sunday.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The girls also took the bronze medal in the 4 x 200m relay held at the same arena.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The team consisted of Erin Feeley, Megan Fleming, Ellen Kristoffersen, Fiona Matheson, Katie Purves<\/span> and Rachel Robertson<\/span> <\/span>,<\/span> <\/span> with Megan, Katie, Ellen and Rachel <\/span>competing in the relay competition.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First up was the relay heat, in which the girls produced a confident performance to win comfortably and progress to the final.  <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With their qualification for the relay final in the bag, the girls could concentrate on the main event – the league final.  <\/span>First up was the high jump, with Ellen<\/span> jumping 1.50m to take first place and set the tone for the rest of the day.  <\/span>This was followed by a fantastic PB time of 8.11 secs as Katie<\/span> won the 60m.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the next three events running in quick succession, the team sent out a message to their rivals as Rachel<\/span> won the long jump with 4.92m, Katie<\/span> won the hurdles in 9.29 secs (a new U15 Girls’ League Record), and Erin<\/span> finished second in the shot putt with a new PB of 8.65m.  <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This put the girls in a strong position with three events to go, and when Fiona<\/span> produced a huge PB of 2mins 33.33 secs finishing 3rd in the 800m, and Megan<\/span> ran 31.19 secs finishing 5th in the 200m, the team only needed to finish fourth in the last event – the 300m to claim victory.  <\/span>Rachel,<\/span> cheered on by the rest of the team, produced a terrific finish in a thrilling race to finish second in a time of 46.11 secs.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As Rachel <\/span>was met at the finishing line by her team mates, the celebrations began on the track and in the stand.  <\/span>However, the girls soon had to focus on the relay final and they were determined to win another medal to complete the day.   <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The girls managed to deliver again, as Megan<\/span> got the team of to a great start, and then a fantastic second leg from Katie<\/span> put the team in a strong position.  <\/span>Ellen <\/span>ran the third leg really well and completed a good changeover to Rachel<\/span> in the last leg who held of a strong Shettleston runner to finish third and spark of more celebrations.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was a great performance over the whole day by all the girls in the team.  <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The team would like to say a big thank you to the support from the parents, Team Managers – Linda<\/span> and Margaret, <\/span>and the cheerleaders Lisa, Mhairi, Stephanie <\/span>and Mairead<\/span> <\/span>! <\/span> <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
