Scottish Results highlights on the scotstats.net website

Scottish thrower George Evans has opened the season well in the United States.

And the Kansas University student showed his class and form with two very strong performances at the ‘Battle on the Bayou’ event in Baton Rouge in Louisiana.

As well as coming up with a shot putt PB of 17.05m, George threw the discus to 59.84m to go second equal on the Scottish all-time list behind record-holder Nick Percy.

It’s great to see the 21-year-old continuing the development which began a few years ago at Inverness Harriers.

George, of course, won GB international vests in his teens when he won World Youth Championship bronze and European U20s bronze.

Sarah Inglis is another to Scot who is performing superbly on the other side of the Atlantic presently.

Sarah came up with another race win at the weekend in the Race Roster Spring Run-Off over 8K in Toronto – winning in a time of 26.46.
