Scott Stirling has been in fine form in cross country this winter and the Falkirk Victoria Harriers athlete took that form into his road running at the Telford 10k.

A fourth place finish was excellent in itself in a strong field but Scott’s PB run of 28:40 (chip time) is fifth best all time for Scots for the 10k distance on the road (on the RR and CC Commission list).

It was also a Falkirk Victoria Harriers club record as he took down the mark set by John Sherban at 28:46 (with Jim Dingwall at 28:45 for a track 10,000m).

Scott, silver medallist at the Lindsays Short Course XC, led home an impressive Scottish cohort as five others men went sub 30 minutes.

Ben Potrykus was 13^th in the race at 2(:24 and Harry Henriksen was close behind at 29:31. Callum Tharme made the top 30 with 29:35 and there were good runs for Max Milarvie (29:45) and Jamie MacKinnon (29:58), too.

Natasha Phillips was fourth in the race with her run of 33:03 only just outside her 10k PB.
