National Relay Championship Results
27 April 2017
The club had a record 36 athletes competing across 10 teams at the National Relay Championships, held at a chilly Grangemouth last Saturday, with the club entering teams in almost every distance and age group.
In the U13 Girls 4x100m, the team of Kirsten Morris, Erin Cameron, Ella Watson and Bronti Jenkins qualified for the final with a time of 57.88, and then finished 6th in the final in 58.21. The club's other U13 Girls team of Katie Armit, Anna Allison, Erin Duncan and Rachel Small were 6th in their heat in 63.87.
The U13 Boys 4x100m race was a straight final, with the team of Calum Anderson, Daniel Sutherland, Elliot Frame and Robin Threlfall finishing 8th in 64.77. The boys have subsequently been moved to 7th after another team was retrospectively disqualified.
In the U15 Girls 4x100m, Alix Fairley, Georgia Fraser, Emmie Meechan and Sophie Ure qualified for the final after finishing their heat 4th in 54.55. The girls ran faster in the final, finishing 8th in 53.95.
It was also a straight final for the U15 Boys 4x100m race, with Tammo Foad, Logan Tait, Fraser Morris and Andrew Cowie finishing 7th in 53.90.
In the U17 Mens 4x100m, the quartet of David Threlfall, Harrison Spence, Ricky Arthurs and Fraser Steele were 2nd in their heat in 46.11, securing an U17 club record and place in the final. The team ran faster again in the final, finishing in 5th with another U17 club record and an Overall club record of 45.60, beating the previous record of 46.0 from 2004.
With the 4x100m relays drawing to a close, there were two Livingston teams in action in the 3x800m relays at the start of the afternoon session.
In the U15 Boys 3x800m heats, Alastair Marshall, Fraser Morris and Angus McDonald ran 7:16.66 to finish 3rd in their heat and secure a place in the final. The boys had a long wait for their final, with the race taking place after 7pm, but they ran almost 5 seconds quicker to finish the final 4th in 7:11.99, another club record.
The U17 Womens 3x800m team of Katie Craig, Charlie Maree Nolan and Courtney Moffat finished their straight final 9th in a club record time of 7:41.40.
The club also fielded teams in the U17 Mens 4x400m and U17 Womens 4x300m for the first time in a number of years.
It was a straight final in the U17 Womens 4x300m, with the Livingston team of Rebecca Calder, Abby Duncan, Sarah Calvert and Iona McDonald holding their own against the biggest clubs in Scotland to finish 3rd and collect bronze medals with the club record time of 2:51.99, which was also faster than the winning time from the 2016 championships.
The U17 Mens 4x400m team were also setting records, with Aidan Brady, Matthew Boules, Ricky Arthurs and Declan Wynne finishing their final 5th in a club record time of 3:43.58, taking over 6 seconds from the previous record set in 1996.
Well done to all the club athletes who competed, fantastic performances from everyone, and a special mention to Fraser Morris and Ricky Arthurs (and their parents) who endured a long day at Grangemouth to compete morning and afternoon at two different relay distances.
Thanks to all the coaches and team managers who helped the teams, both at the practice sessions last Monday and on the day: Billy Herron, Marion Fairley, Bob Douglas, Hugh Cameron and Julia Morris.
Thanks also Livingston AC technical official Pat Hockley who was on duty on Saturday, and to everyone who contributed photos. More photos available via links below.
