Athletics Opportunities before Glasgow Schools' Athletics Championships

The Glasgow Schools' Athletics Championships is fast approaching. In preparation for this, I would like to invite pupils to take part in two events.

A first opportunity is an open-graded event in Livingston on Wednesday 22nd May. This involves a number of events for each age group where you can come and record times or distances against people of similar standards + ages. Here you can see the website for more information and the flyer which involves details about the age group cutoffs. Please note this age groups as some of the S1s will actually be in the u15 age group and not u13s.

The second event takes place at Crownpoint track just beside Glasgow Green. It offers fewer events than the Livingston competition but a great opportunity to record a PB none the less. Athletes can do a 100m, Shot Putt and/or a long jump.

For both events pupils should enter via online links themselves.

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
