Be Fit Again Track Academy Meet
The club was delighted to support Godwin Imante and his coach Gordon Bury in travelling to London to compete at the high-level Be Fit Again Today Track Academy meeting at Lee Valley Stadium.
Godwin did not disappoint, running 10.76 and then a PB of 10.75 in the second round with legal winds. This moves Godwin to seventh in the club’s all-time rankings. He rounded off a successful day with a 21.88 run over 200m.

Schools Success All Round
School events continue to be the focus for many of our young athletes. South Lanarkshire Schools held their heats during the week, with numerous successes for the club and many athletes qualifying for the finals.
Over the weekend, the Scottish Schools Championships took place in Grangemouth. There were some fantastic performances and five titles picked up by club athletes.
Abraham Lanahan’s Triple Jump win was a massive PB, adding over 60cm to his previous best and moving him to eighth in the club’s all-time rankings.
Zoe Roberts also showed why she is one of the top U16 athletes in Britain at the moment with a commanding victory in the 800m.

Lindsays Summer of Athletic
Moving to Wednesday, four members of the club were invited to a fantastic event organised by long-term sponsors of Scottish Athletics, Lindsays.

The club is delighted that we have athletes and club members involved in both events.
Denise Lewis, Eilidh Doyle and Jack Buckner were interviewed by Ian Beattie, Chair of UK Athletics. All three gave a great insight into their personal journeys to the top of their sport and their hopes for the future.
The club would like to thank Lindsays for this great opportunity.
