Athletics
Congratulations to the following athletes who took part in the Scottish Schools Cross Country Championships on Saturday:
S2 Holly Still

S2 Ross Gray
S6 David Clarke
All athletes ran superbly well but special mention must go to Holly Still and Rebecca Saxby who came 5th and 8th respectively in the Girls’ Group C race. This also means that the girls have been selected to run for Scotland in the forthcoming Home International at Strathallan at the end of March. This is an outstanding achievement! Well Done!
