Sprinters post superb times; BUCS medals; Jumps and Throws GP

Monday 1st May 2023

Adam Clayton, Alyson Bell and Brodie Young

Results details on scotstats.net

There were some top performances in various locations as the track and field season begins to take share.

Sprinters were very much to the fore with impressive results from Scots in the United States and at BUCS.

*Adam Clayton clocked 10.08 Windy (3.2) for 100m in Texas to become the fifth fastest Scot ever over the distance.

*Alyson Bell took Women’s 100m silver at BUCS with new PB 11.45 – third on all-time list.

*Brodie Young went sub 46 seconds for 400m as he clocked 45.92 for new PB and fourth on all-time list.

Brilliant to see these three athletes (and others) hitting excellent form so far already in 2023 and well done to them and their coaches!
