Luke Caldwell made a superb marathon debut in America to run well inside the Team Scotland qualifying standard for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Luke clocked 2:11.33 as he placed seventh at the Houston marathon to go straight in at fifth on the Scottish all-time list.

It was a run which was agonisingly close to the GB World Champs standard for Oregon – as he missed it by three seconds.

But he was well inside the Team Scotland standard for Birmingham which is set at 2:15.12.

The 30-year-old, who is on the Scottish Athletics marathon project, competed on the track at Glasgow 2014 in the 5000m and 10,000m.

Many congratulations to Luke and his coach.
