At the weekend Grangemouth Stadium hosted it first major championships since reopening after being taken over by the Grangemouth Sports Trust. It hosted the Scottish Secondary School’s Pentathlon Championships.
Falkirk Victoria Harriers athlete had major success in his first multi event championship. Falkirk Victoria u15 athlete Callan Campbell representing Braes High School had an extremely successful day. With personal bests in all five events (LJ, 80 hurdles, shot putt, 200m & 800m) he secured a silver medal in second place just behind K McKay with M Massey coming third.
Aine M & Kirsty M represented the girls & finishing 10th & 11th places out of a whopping 50 u15 girls.
To crown off the day medal presentation was carried out by Heptathlon Olympic Gold medal winner Denise Lewis the current President of UK Athletics.
Giving the recent uncertainty surrounding our wonderful home Grangemouth Stadium having such a huge name presenting awards and being involved in the event marks a monumental milestone.
Denise was patient & happy to pose for photos, mingle amongst & inspire the awe struck teens involved in the event.
If we ignore the traditional Scottish weather displayed over the long day it really was a great day for FVH & Grangemouth Stadium!
We are awaiting official times from SSAA, but there are some great photos of the action over at https://www.mike3legsphoto.co.uk
