Adam 10.14 is our best 100m for 43 years; Prize pot shares from Seniors

Tuesday 15th August 2023

There was plenty of excitement at Grangemouth over the weekend – and the good news continued elsewhere, too.

Scottish sprinter Adam Thomas came up with a new PB as he clocked 10.14 (+1.7) for the 100m in London.

And that is in fact the best 100m run by a Scot for fully 43 years since Allan Wells posted 10.11 way back in July 1980 for the National Record.

Well done to Adam, his family and coach Laurance Kingsburg.

Back to Grangemouth and it was great to see no fewer than 11 athletes land shares of our £2000 prize pot on offer at the 4J Senior Champs.

Five athletes in the field achieved standards and six on the track.

Over the course of the action, there were Native Record performances for Stephen Mackenzie and Alessandro Schenini in that remarkable long jump competition and Nick Percy in the Men’s discus.

Nick and Alessandro hit the Gold standards in their events and Stephen lodged a silver performance. Eight other athletes landed Bronze shares, including Sam Fernando in the Para list
