Record-breakers! Kishi set new U17 mark then joins team for Scottish U20 Women’s 4x100m best
*We will update this story after the Sunday programme is concluded. Thanks for your patience.
Scottish sprinters were in top form in Mannheim over the weekend.
A development Women’s U20 team broke the 4x100m Relay Record which had stood for 45 years.
Kishi Aremu broke the Scottish U17 Record for Women’s 100m – taking down a mark also set in the early 1980s (by Linsey Macdonald).
And Dean Patterson and Dylan McCulloch were in action for GB U20s on a weekend of PB and SB performances.
The U20 Relay Record looked a strong possibility for the team of Kishi, Sophie Thomas, Emma Clark and Holly Whittaker. And so it proved with a run of 45.60 seconds in their Saturday race.
That came only an hour or so after Kishi, now with Falkirk Vics, clocked a legal 11.69 for the new U17 mark. The Rocrd has been 11.70 and set in 1980.
Congratulations to these athletes and their coaches and clubs – Sophie (Dunfermline T and F), Emma (Whitemoss AAC) and Holly (Aberdeen AAC) as well as Kishi who initially developed at Livingston AC.
The team was back in action on Sunday and went close with 45.66 for a fine two days of sprinting.
On Saturday, there has been individual PB runs at 100m for Sophie at 11.86 (windy); Holly at 11.95 (windy); Owen Murphy 10.64 + 1.8).
In 400m races there were PBs for Luc Macleod at 47.64; Dylan McCulloch 47.34; Grant McEachern 48.01 and Rory Taylor-Young 48.94.
