The Scottish Schools XC championships took place over a hilly Hopetoun House course with a number of our young athletes representing their respective schools
Highlight of the day was Nina Clark, running for Duncanrig, finishing a superb 3rd in the Under 15 girls race over 4k. Nina now adds a bronze medal to her collection of championship medals & gains selection to the Scottish team for the SIAB international to be held in Wales at the end of this month.
Also, well done to Skye Christie who was part of the Mearns Castle U17 girls team who finished 1st team
