The Scottish Secondary Schools track and field championships enjoyed good conditions at Grangemouth over Friday and Saturday – and there were some fine performances.

Prominent among those would be three age group records (subject to ratification) which further improved standards achieved by young Scottish athletes down the decades.

us of three fine performances by young athletes at the Scottish Schools Champs at Grangemouth over the past couple of days,

Ellie O’Hara pushed on still further her U17 National Record for Triple Jump with 12.30m improving on a recent 12.14m performance at Bedford.

Alexander Poustie-Williamson clocked 36.50 for U15 Record for 300m and, in the shot putt, Meghan Porterfield is now at 12.20m for a new Scottish U13 Record in that event.
