There was brilliant Scottish success at this year’s UK School Games at Loughborough.

The Scottish Wildcats (Scotland) won the overall team event after superb performances individually and collectively at the Paula Radcliffe Stadium.

Listed below are the names of those when the team was selected and results for events underline how well our next generation performed.

The OpenTrack detail for the event lists the top performers (via age grading) and we note there were superb efforts by Ben Thomson, Douglas Knox and Holly Whittaker.

Good to see Scottish Para athletes involved in this and by all reports the Scottish Wildcats generated an excellent team spirt.

Congratulations to all the athletes and the team management from the Scottish Schools AAC.
