What a fantastic weekend for our athletes! With sunny weather and great conditions, a number of our athletes, coaches, and parents made the journey north to Aberdeen for the 4J Scottish Age Group Championships at Aberdeen Sports Village, while others competed closer to home in Paisley.
Scottish Age Group Championships: Medals and PBs!
The star of the weekend was undoubtedly Molly Brown, who secured two well-deserved silver medals in the U/13 100m and 200m! Our medal haul continued with Godwin Imante, who took silver in the U/20 men’s 100m, missing gold by a mere 0.05 seconds. The final medal was won by Zoe Roberts, who finished 3rd in the U/15 800m while competing for the Glasgow School of Sport.
A host of other athletes also achieved personal bests and great results throughout the championships.

We would also like to remind athletes and coaches that club travel grants are available to help support their journeys. Please contact the club secretary if you need support to apply for this.
