The Scottish Senior and Age Group Champs once again featured an Inter-Club Competition – for overall points and across Event Groups.

And we’re pleased now to reveal the Scottish U17 age group tallies, with thanks to scotstats.net statistician Arnold Black for all his assistance in scoring the events.

In total, no fewer than 53 athletics clubs scored in the U17 competition and none of the 2015 Event Group winners retained their titles as it became ‘all change’ at Grangemouth.

There was an overall success for VP-Glasgow in the final tabler, with 6228 points awarded, as they headed Pitreavie AAC and Giffnock North AAC. Edinburgh AC, who won the U17 age group last year, were placed fourth.

In the Event Group categories, there were wins for Central AC in the sprints; Inverclyde AC in endurance; Glasgow School of Sport in the jumps; and VP-Glasgow in the throws.

Congratulations to all the athletes and coaches who are putting in the hard work week in, week out to feature in these successes.
