Well done to senior athletes John Fergusson (32:49) and Daryl Reid (32:58) who finished 12th and 16th respectively at the Brian Goodwin 10k at Pollok Park on 21 June.

Just as impressive was Hannah Kelly finishing 4th female overall – a remarkable result…

Grant Baillie crossed the line 32nd of 7,301 finishers. He was also 4th M40. It’s a mark of the high…
Greg Kelly’s sprint season is off to a flyer. Having been selected to compete for Scotland at the Loughborough International, Greg covered 100m in 10.66 seconds. The margin to his recent PB couldn’t have been any finer – just 0.01 seconds shy of it. It shows tremendous consistency and bodes well for a cracking season.…
