Scottish Schools Athletics Championships

Well this year proved to be our most successful year at the Scottish Schools Athletics Championships. On Day 1 - the relay championships we had two teams taking part, a girls 4 x 400m and a boys 4 x 400m. The girls qualified for the final and finished 5th after a great team performance, they are all young enough to take part in this event for the next 2-3 years which is promising. So well done Annaabel MacDonald, Chloe Forrest, Erin Moran and Eilidh McDougall. 


The boys race went to a straight final. The team of Lewis Grimmer, Aidan Tittmar, Calum Stewart and Jacob Connelly went 3 full seconds faster than they did the year before. The boys put an almighty effort in to finish in 4th place. A big thank you to Lewis and Jacob who were taking part in their final school race and only a couple of hours before prom. Thanks for all your hard work for the school over the past 6 years, we appreciate it. 

In the track and field championships which is a two day event we had a large number of athletes taking part, our biggest entry yet. Here's the team:

Day 1 – Friday 8th June
Annabel MacDonald – 300m
Eilidh McDougall – 100m
Shona Carey – 800m
Peggy-Nan Rodger – 800m
Sarah Bonad – 200m
Millie Soutar – Shot Putt
Iver Campbell  - 100m
James Diamond – 100m
Robaidh Whyte – 1500m
Joel MacInnes – 800m
MacKenzie Morrison – Discus
Cameron Weir – Discus

Day 2 – Saturday 9th June
Shona Carey – 1500m
Abbey Hart – 100m
Sarah Bonad – 100m
MacKenzie Morrison – 100m
Cameron Weir - Javelin

We had an unprecedented success over the two day event. Eilidh McDougall qualified for the semi finals of the 100m in the B girls competition. Iver Campbell, James, Robaidh McKenzie, Shona and Millie all recorded Personal bests all on day 1. McKenzie qualified for the final of the Discus and finished 5th! Cameron qualified for the final of the Javelin also a top 6 performance as too did Shona and Millie in the 800m and Shot Putt. The highlight of the championships for SGG was the performances in the final from Millie Soutar and Shona Carey. Millie won the bronze medal in the Shot Putt and Shona won a bronze medal in the 800m!!! This is the schools first ever medals at the Scottish Schools track and field and to get two on the one day was absolutely fantastic! Millie won the bronze by 7 cms, her series of throws was very similar to the girl in 5th so she did well to keep her composure and claim the medal. Shona qualified for the final with ease and in the final she ran a composed fast race to create a sizeable gap and hold off the chasing pack. Not only that she recorded a Personal Best in the process. Thanks to all the pupils for making this years championships unforgettable.

Glasgow Schools Athletics Championships

One of our biggest events every year is the Glasgow Schools Athletics Championships. This year we had over 60 competitors take part over the two day event, this really shows how strong athletics is in the school as to be entered into the championships your performances have to be of a high standard. To make finals at the championships you have to record a top 8 performance in your event which is no easy feat to achieve. This year we had more finalists than we have ever had! At the end of the two days we came away with a fantastic 11 medals, the most gold medals we've had at a championships, more finalists than every and 10 x 4th placed finishes. This year we also had more senior pupils competing that ever before which was pleasing to see, next year I will predict this number will go up again. Congratulations to all our athletes who represented the school so well. Looking forward to next year's competition already! Here are our medal winners:

S1 Netball Team - Glasgow Schools League Champions



Congratulations to the S1 girls Netball team who won the Glasgow Schools League 2018! What a fantastic achievement for the girls. The girls played Holyrood in the final a team who had beaten them in the league back at the start of the season. It was a home game so we played it at Kelvinhall. The team had the bare minimum for the game, 7 players and with a 40 minute game in warm conditions the girls new that it was going to be a tough day on the court. The game itself was very much stop-start with every ball contested for. It was the lowest scoring game that the girls had played since the meeting holyrood in the league. Sgoil Ghaidhlig Ghlaschu ended up winning the game 5-3. The girls done it! Glasgow Schools League Champions 2018! What an amazing achievement for the team and our wee school! Congratulations to the team who represented the school not only during the final but throughout the year:

S2 reach Semi Finals of Glasgow Schools League Playoffs

Congratulations to the ever improving S2 Netball team who played a great match against Holyrood Sec in the Semi-Finals of the Glasgow Schools Playoffs. Holyrood Won the fixture 34-28 but our girls should take great pride in the way they played against one of the best teams in Scotland. Holyrood got to the semi-finals of the Gold Section of the Scottish Cup beating last year’s winners in the process. During the game we started very slow which allowed Holyrood to create a sizeable lead however during each of the following quarters the girls got better and better. Abbey started running the show at centre and along with Leena. Ceitidh and Rhianna they were working very hard to win the ball back at any opportunity. Orlagh at GK was winning the rebounds particularly towards the end of the game. Kerry along with Millie Soutar are working incredibly well together as shooters and this was evident throughout the game. Throughout the season the girls have improved an enormous amount. The girls were up against the best S2 team that Glasgow has produced since I've been coaching. I have been very proud of our S2 team. Their effort, attitude and determination to better their performance as a team. Next year the girls have been entered into the Scottish Cup for the first time, they will need to raise their game even higher for that competition but we welcome the challenge.
