Under 13s
Sunday 19th of February proved to be an excellent day for Giffnock North Athletes competing at indoor venues. With Neil Gourlay and Erin Wallace medalling in the British Championships in Birmingham, the bar was set for our under thirteen athletes competing in the indoor age group championships at the Emirates Arena.
They certainly rose to the challenge. Medal winners were:
Gold:
Austin Summerhill High Jump
Kian Dick 800m (new club record)
Logan McNulty 1500m.
Silver:
Eilidh Brown 200m. A brilliant run and first year in the age group.
Bronze:
Paul Rolfe Hurdles
Bethany McNeil Long Jump
Well done to everyone who competed, gained valuable competition experience, set new personal bests, showed outstanding sportsmanship and hopefully enjoyed the day. Thanks as always to coaches, supporters and officials who make it all possible.
