Scotland teams for the Junior Home International

Friday 24th August 2018

Young hill runners will represent

Scotland at the Junior Home International next month.

Ireland are the hosts this year with the races being held at Glendalough on Saturday 8 September with the opposition featuring the hosts and visitors from England, Wales and Scotland.

And we are delighted to now confirm selection for 16 young athletes with teams of four names in two age groups – at U20 and U17 level. This follows on from the trials races last weekend at Aberfoyle (full results now available above) with current form also taken into account.

It’s a great moment for all those selected and their clubs with Giffnock North AC having helped develop three of the eight female athletes selected while Garscube are represented in three of the four teams.

Scotland Men

U20: Thomas Berry (Garscube Harriers); Eoghann Gollan (East Sutherland); Gregor Malcolm (Edinburgh University HH); Robert Sparks (Fife AC)

U17: Ben Cameron (Forres), Harry Henriksen (Lasswade), Sunny McGrath (Deveron), Jack Trainer (Garscube Harriers)

Scotland Women

U20: Anisha Badial (Aberdeen AAC), Lynn McKenna (Giffnock North), Rhona Mowat (Giffnock North), Rona Tytler (Kilbarchan AAC).

U17: Pippa Carcas (Edinburgh AC), Helen Chong (Giffnock North), Ellie Hinks (Garscube Harriers), Beth Hobbs (Moorfoot)

With athletes selected from Forres and East Sutherland in the North to Moorfoot in the Borders and from Lasswade and Fife AC in the east to those Glasgow-based clubs, this team really does cover the length and breadth of Scotland!

Congratulations from all at scottishathletics to all those selected and to their families, coaches and clubs and all the best for the trip to Glendalough.

With thanks to Malcolm Patterson

DAVID OVENS WILL BE NEW CHAIR NEXT YEAR
And JO STAYS ON BOARD
We're rounding up a couple more elements from the Annual General Meeting yesterday . . .
Following a recruitment process, we're delighted to confirm David Ovens will be the new chair of Scottish Athletics come the autumn of 2021. David is a coaching assistant with Fife AC and is married to former Commonwealth Games finalist Hayley.
Ian Beattie will continue to lead us until then and will help David with a handover period.
And the AGM approved a further four-year spell for Jo Butterfield as a non-executive director. Jo initially joined the Board of Scottish Athletics in 2016 and has been invaluable in offering a perspective as a competing athlete and from Para athletics.
