19th April 2009
As far as the day went we had a good turnout (boosted by 3 of Jim's flock) though having only 2 girls was disappointing. At first glance there were about 11 PB's bettered and many new marks set by our "first timers". Of the PB's the ones of particular note are George Sumner who bettered his 600m time by 6.5 secs, Jamie Scobbie clipped 3 secs off his 200m time and Kevin Acton 2.4 secs (all these will require confirming). James Grannan bettered his Triple Jump distance by almost a meter and Joel Norman added 0.26m to his Long Jump taking him over the 4m mark for the first time, whilst you pushed out your Javelin PB by 1.23m. However the best performer of the day was Fergus who set 3 PB's including putting 11cm on his High Jump and 1.9m on his Shot Putt. The overall performance of our athletes was very good with many 1st, 2nd and 3rd places being recorded in the events/heats so it will be interesting to see how we are placed in the league table, all in all a very satisfying start to the season.

There are 47 photos from the day, sorry if I've missed you but with so many athletes it was difficult to get everyone: Photos If you want to look at your times, distances, heights or placements the full results can be found here: Results There are a few errors on the official results but we do hope to get them corrected.
