On Saturday 2nd March 2019 three of our very talented S1 and S3 Athletes, Struan Shaw 1F1, Eilidh Shaw 3F1 and Emily Arthur 3F2 competed at the Scottish Schools X-Country event at Hopetoun House in Edinburgh. Everyone ran very well mixing with the best of what Scotland has to offer at this age group.
Struan finished 22nd in the Boys Group D race (mix of S1 and some S2).
Eilidh finished 20th in the Girls Group C race (Some S2 with mostly S3)
Emily finished 65th in the Girls Group B race (Some S3 with mostly S4).
Now that is the X-Country season almost over we look forward to see what the Athletics and X-Country club bring during the track season.
