Scottish hill runners are celebrating after no fewer than six athletes were named in Team GB and NI for the European Champs.
The event takes place in France next month and there will be a record representation in the 16-strong British squad which travels.
Five of the athletes had earned automatic selection following excellent performances in the Home International and Euro Trials at Whinlatter last weekend – after all finishing in the top two.
And Fife AC’s Megan Crawford, who was fourth in the Senior women’s trial race, was also included in Team GB following the selection meeting.
Robbie Simpson and Andrew Douglas are included in the Senior Men’s team, Andrew Lawler and Jacob Adkin are in the Junior Men’s team and Catriona Graves will feature with the Junior Women.
The call-ups ensure first GB vests for Douglas, Adkin and Crawford and the full announcement from British Athletics is available here:
