There was a Senior race double for Central AC at the East League meeting in Dundee on Saturday.

Butchart was followed home by club-mate Jamie Crowe and Michael Ferguson of Aberdeen. Millar was followed home by Hannah Cameron of Aberdeen and Jill Stephen of Hunters Bog Trotters.

Around 600 athletes competed at Camperdown Park with the event superbly organised by Dundee Hawkhill Harriers.
