Brooks, Soleus and Achilles Heel - Track Night
 
On Thursday the 12th of May, we hosted a special Track Night at Scotstoun when we were joined by representatives from Brooks, Soleus, Powerade and of course Katie from Achiles Heel.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the visit and Brooks and Soleus were delighted with the numbers taking part in the "Soleus Perfect Pace Challenge".

Bearing in mind that the challenge was to reproduce two identical 400m times at whatever pace you were comfortable with, the winner on the night was Jimmy Lynch Small with times of 1:43.65 and 1:43.66.

Congratulations to Jimmy, he received a supply of Powerade and a Soleus watch.

So for these events, time, rather than finishing position may be more significant for the younger athletes. It’s also worth mentioning that there was a strong head wind accompanying many of the sprints.

Chloe Lambert won the 100m in 12.75s, having run 12.49s in the qualifying heat. Chloe also qualified for the 200m final in 1st place, running 26.14s in a strong head wind, but didn’t run in the final.

Katie Kennedy was 1st U16 woman in the High Jump with a PB of 1.58m and Eilidh McEvilly was 2nd U18 woman, clearing 1.55m. Eilidh was also 3rd in the U18W 100m Hurdles with a PB of 15.09s.

The following athletes achieved PBs:
Katie Ord, 20.58m in the Discus and 17.17m in the Javelin. Eliza Chiswell, 2:25.37 in the 800m. Pamela Creechan, 4.41m, and Melanie Chiswell, 4.38m, in the Long Jump. Liam Turner, 27.28s in the 200m.

In the U20/Senior Loughborough Trials, David Martin was 1st in the 400m with a PB of 47.80s and 3rd in the 200m with 22.00s. Hazel Ross won the 100m Hurdles in 15.74s and Jane Scott was 2nd in 16.60s. Hazel also won the High Jump in 1.58m and Jane was also 3rd in the Long Jump with 5.28m. In the Pole Vault, Sam Adams won with a PB of 4.30m and Jennifer Mathieson was 2nd woman, clearing 3.00m. Kirsty Yates won the Shot with 11.79m. Jo Moultrie was 2nd in the 1500m with a PB of 4:18.58. In the Discus John McCafferty was 3rd, throwing 38.86m and Stacey Wilson was also 3rd with 35.29m. In the 5000m David Vernon ran a PB of 14:54.17 (1st U20).
Other PBs were Sarah Smith, 58.17s in the 400m and Iain Townsend, 2:07.75, in the 800m.

Congratulations to those VP-Glasgow athletes selected for the Scottish Team at the Loughborough International on May 22nd. They are: Chris Baillie, 110mH, 4x100m relay; Paula Murray, Javelin; Kirsty Yates, Shot Putt; David Martin, 4x400m relay.
