Saturday 20th October was the 2012 Lanarkshire Road Relay Championships held at its usual venue of Drumpellier Park, Coatbridge. There was a small number the club's young athletes at this annual event.
First off were the under 11 boys team running the 1.2k course with Joseph Fegan running the first leg in a time of 6:08. Liam Wood took over and ran 5:10 while on the third leg Marc McQuade finished on 5:35 giving a total time of 16:53 and 6th team out of 7 complete teams. The winning club in this race was Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers with a total time of 14:36 and leg times of 4:45, 5:03 and 4:48.
In the second race of the day we had 2 incomplete girl teams however the 4 girls were undeterred by this and Helen Anderson (Under 13) ran the first leg along with her sister Megan (Under 13) and completed the 2k course in 8:44 and Megan did her leg in 8:32. Helen handed over to Kate Kane (Under 13) who ran an excellent 8:09 and this concluded their race. Megan passed over to the newest member of the girl’s squad Anna Fegan (Under 13) who finished in 8:43. The winning club in this race was again Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers with a total time of 21:35 and leg times of 7:23, 6:56 and 7:16.
The third race of the day was the boys under 13 with another incomplete team however the only member Kevin McGurk ran his 2.4k leg in 10:01. The fastest leg of the day in this race was 8:49 (Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers runner).
The final race of the day was the under 15 boys running the same 2.4k course. Our sole Harrier was Craig Stewart who ran 9.23 and which was 10th fastest time in his age group. The winning club in this race was Law with a total time of 24:47 and leg times of 8:06, 8:29 & 8:12.
Once again many thanks to the parents/carers of the young athletes for supporting the club at this event.
