There was no rest for club members this week with athletes competing on the road, hills and track with great success.
Following on from a National bronze team medal in our highly successful Babcock Shettleston 10km, Cameron Muir travelled home to Dumfries on Wednesday night to claim a win in the Hollywood Stroll 5mile Road Race. The club would also like to congratulate Cameron on his recent marriage.
One of our new club members, Thomas Meikle recently finished 5th in the Ben Lomond Hill race and this weekend three young Shettleston Harriers athletes took part in the Scottish Junior Hill Running Championship at Broughton.

The weekend past saw the West District Track and Field Championships take place in Kilmarnock.
A new format was being tested by Scottish Athletics for the U14 age group. Each athlete competed over three events, choosing either two track and one field or two field and one track event. There were no individual medals awarded and athletes competed to achieve Gold, Silver or Bronze Badges based on their overall performance. Two club members claimed Gold Badges over a busy day of competition.

Naod Woldselassie 790pts (LJ 4.24, 200m 27.54, 800m 2.18.85 (PB) – Gold

On the road there was club representation at the Gryffe Valley Rotary 10km with Jessica Martin finishing second Female and Paul Sorrie coming home fifth in the M40 category.
Jamie Burns has been in great form in recent weeks. In the Shettleston 10k last weekend he improved his personal best, running 29.29 which puts him seventh in the club’s all time rankings. He rounded off a fantastic week at Trafford (Manchester) on Saturday breaking the magical 14 minute barrier for 5000m with a time of 13.59.57. This also places him seventh in the club’s all time rankings over that distance.
Daniel Bradford was also in action at Trafford, running 3:55.21 over 1500m.
