Scottish Schools' Champions and Record Breakers

SGG entered the Scottish Schools Relays this year for the first time. The championship took place at Hutcheson Grammar on Friday 2nd June. The school entered two teams, a Boys 4 x 400m and a Girls 4 x 400m. The boys team of: Lewis Grimmer, Aidan Tittmar, Lewis Conley and Calum Stewart finished in a credible 4th place. The team performed very well and were only 3 seconds away from the silver medals which shows you how close it was at the end. 

 

The girls team: Annabel MacDonald, Erin Houston, Erin Moran and Eilidh McDougall absolutely dominated the final and won by a considerable margin. The girls were so impressive, they smashed the Scottish Schools Record by 12 seconds to win in 4 minutes 17 seconds. Not only did the girls claim the Schools first ever National Sporting title and a Scottish Record, they were awarded a second trophy for the girls relay performance of the championship voted by the Scottish Schools Athletics Association! What a prestigious trophy to be awarded! Congratulations girls, you are Scottish Schools Champions and Record Holders!
