Congratulations to Eilidh Bell who received her first international vest over the weekend when she finished 11th in a PB of 75.58 helping Scotland win the international team contest at the Clear Water Antrim1/2 Marathon in Northern Ireland. John Mackay was also in Ireland as team manager for the Scotland team. Tara Walker also made the journey across the water to finish 16th in her age group in the mass start.
