The Combined League Events have been a great addition to the current Track Season competition. Fifteen athletes took the opportunity to contest a number of events on a warm day at Grangemouth on Sunday.

Michael Conteh running the 100m Hurdles for the first time recorded a very respectable time of 16.87 +3.4.
The 1500m series saw a real mixture of Shettleston athletes over a wide range of age groups. It was great to see 6 Shettleston athletes contest this event

Another young athlete showing great progress is Iman Djoudi who ran her first race for over 2 years .Her time of 45.27 over 300m was a great return to the track for her and a fast 800m is on the cards in the next few weeks.
