First National Athletics League Meeting

What an amazing day at Grangemouth in the first ever Scottish National Athletics League for u17/20/Seniors, as the sun shone and so did the Harmeny athletes from early morning until the last races.

We’ve had Superteams and Super Saturday, but it was Super U17 Girls with a total of 7 club records: Ella Jones with an amazing time in the 80m hurdles, then again in the 100m, followed by Lara Brechin in the 800m and 300m, Evana Chan in the Long Jump, Natsai Nyabadza in the 3,000m and then the 4x100m record for Evana, Esther Taylor, Eilidh Scobbie and Ella again. Not to be outdone, Finlay Ross provided an u20 boys record in an exciting 800m race. The final race of the day also happened to be the most exciting as Fraser Holman won a sprint finish in the 5,000m, only just outside the senior club record. There were many other amazing performances and I think almost everybody managed a PB or 2 which augers well for the remainder of the long season. Well done to all athletes and many thanks to Mike Taylor for taking photos, and to Gail, Carter and Stephen Burchill for officiating all day!
