Athletes Show Their National Class at Grangemouth
30 August 2002
Reward was sought in the form of medals and personal best performances by the athletes of Livingston and District Amateur Athletics Club who competed at the Scottish National Championships last weekend.
The hard work and effort after years of training reaped most benefit for the sprinters of the club at the Grangemouth event.
Twelve-year-old Kirsty Hunter of Uphall added the 100m title to her already impressive collection, winning easily in a new personal best time of 13.39.
This was followed by the 200m title in a time of 27.51 and then a bronze medal in the High Jump with a leap of 1.35m.
Fourteen-year-old Louise Crilly, returned from international duty in Ireland to add the Scottish 100m title to her Scottish Schools title with a Personal best time of 12.61. She then secured the Silver medal in the 200m with another personal best time of 25.87.
Sixteen-year-old Rosanna Mooney achieved a bronze medal in the 800m, missing the Silver medal by less than half a second when she ran 2:18.17.
