Jacob Connelly and Rosie Urquhart fought off stiff competition to make the final of their track events. Jacob ran a personal best to get to the final of the 400m, as did Rosie in her 200m. The finals are very competitive as the qualification involves many experienced athletes from all schools in Glasgow so Rosie and Jacob did exceptionally well to qualify.
In the 200m Rosie finished 7th in her race, she was pleased with her performance and felt she did her best on the day. She's running a lot faster than last year and looks to better her finishing position next year. Rosie deserves special mention as she was playing Netball for the school team in the morning before her finals race in the afternoon. She played 3 games of Netball for her warm up. Well done Rosie.
Jacob Connelly did what no other pupil from SGG has done before and that's win a medal at the Glasgow Schools Athletics Championships. Jacob smahed his previous best from the qualification rounds to dip under the 60 second barrier for the first time and get himself a bronze medal! Congratulations Jacob! What a terrific performance in such a specialised event against a strong and experienced field.
