Young athletes in the junior section continue to benefit from their training and deliver impressive race performances.
The annual Paisley 3K took place on Sunday 28th August and is an event open to adults and children. For the 3rd year in a row Mark McKenzie took part in the event and was 18th overall, and achieved 2nd under 11 Boy overall. He ran a pb time of 9:51 mins, improving his time by 1:30mins from the 2010 event. Mark received a lovely silver engraved plate to mark his victory. Well done Mark!
Continuing the club success Emma Lawton took part in the Cumbernauld 1K on Sunday 11th September. The organisers of the event grouped all the children into their respective Primary School age group and gender for P5, P6 and P7 and ran 6 1K age/gender group races.
Keen to defend her success from last year of being 1st P5 overall and 1st Girl, Emma was 1st P6 Girl. Her time was 3:36 mins and pb by 22 seconds on last year’s race. Emma received a trophy to mark her victory. Well done Emma!
Congratulations to both Mark and Emma on fantastic results against a very competitive field.
