SCOTS ATHLETES RISE TO THE OCCASIONS!

What a great weekend for Scottish athletes!


SPACE has had contact and hopefully some effect on some of the athletes competing throughout Europe. Jamie Bowie helped GB clinch gold today in Ostrava in Czech Republic in the men's 4x400m relay! His split of 45.33 was excellent in the final winning time of 3:03.53 as the squad led from start to finish.
“After losing out on a medal two years ago we’ve come back stronger and hungrier,” added Bowie.

At Scotstoun, the Scottish National Senior Championships took place. Stacy Downie had a great couple of days clinching the 100m title in 11.88, and finished runner-up to Lee McConnell in the 200m with a terrific time of 23.88. 

And two old-SPACE favourites pulled out all the stops in the hammer. Andy Frost won the men's event with a throw of 69.98m, whilst Susan won her fifth National title with a throw of 63.32m. 

WELL DONE TO ALL WHOM COMPETED, AND PARTICULAR CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OVER THIS WEEKEND, AND TO THOSE WHO MANAGED PERSONAL BESTS-
LYNSEY SHARP WE SALUTE YOU FOR THE 2ND FASTEST SCOTS 800m RUN OF ALL TIME!
