Scottish Schools' Indoor Athletics Championships

 Well done to all the athletes that took part in the Scottish Schools' Athletics Championships. Everyone performed very well, especially considering it was the first time competing indoors for two years. Some of our athletes were competing indoors for the first time ever. The highlights of the two day event were Maisie getting a personal best and a bronze medal in the u16 pole vault. She was agonisingly close to 2.30 but the pole knocked the bar down at the last second. Still what a fantastic achievement. Maisie is our first ever medalist at the Indoor competition. A big well done! 

Finlay ran a school and personal best in the 1500m. He ran 4.20 which smashed the old school record by 11 seconds. It was an outstanding performance. Isla got to the final in the Shot Put which was a very tough ask with the number of entries in the field. She finished 6th overall after the final round of throws. Special mention to Lois who has never taken part in the indoors before, was unable to train for it but ran the 5th fastest time from an SGG girl in the 60m. From a standing start! Lots more to come from her.
