On Sunday 25th January we took 8 teams to the SA Indoor League at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.
Before I go into how we got on, I think it’s really important to highlight just how smoothly the event went. Last year the league was cut short, and a whole new committee was started with the hopes of continuing the event, and what a success they made of it. Each of the 3 meetings ran perfectly on time, with a great atmosphere making it a seriously enjoyable event. Huge thanks and congratulations to the new committee.
From a team leader point of view I am beaming with pride after how our athletes competed & conducted themselves in such a huge arena, there have been mega PBs, club records, first times & lots of fun!
Our u12 age groups – full of new athletes competing for the first time, had 60m, 600m & Long Jump events. Girls team was made up of Anna-Leigh, Yasmin, Annabelle, Sophie, Holly, Tess, Emelia & Rowan finished 8th in the league. Boys team made up of Max, Kyle, Conal, Costa & Conor finished 7th in the league.
Our u14 groups competed in 60, 60h, 200, 800, LJ, HJ, SP were also peppered with new athletes competing for the first time, our u14 girls Erin, Arianna, Iris, Alexa, Clancy, Lily & Sophia finished 9th in their league.
We have come away with 5 out of 8 teams who have qualified for the league final on 22nd March. In order to qualify you must finish top 3 in the league, at the final the top 3 from the morning league will join the afternoon tops for an exciting & competitive event!
