A couple of photographs from last Saturday’s hill races at Earlston.  Still waiting on official times, results and photographs from organisers but can report that both our juniors Ishbel Inglis and Ryan Jamieson were top 3 finishers in their categories.  Ishbel was 3rd overall and 1st girl, whilst Ryan on his first outing for the Teviotdale Harriers was 4th overall and 3rd boy. 

Well done to all the Teviotdale Harriers juniors that competed recently in both the Teviotdale Harriers Primary Schools Cross Country and also the Borders Schools Cross Country events.  Pictured above is Jai Patterson who finished first in our own race and 3rd in the Borders.  Jai is pictured with Michael Girdler (1st) and Cameron Fowler (2nd).

On Sunday 29th March the Scottish Athletics Road Relay Championship were held at Almondvale, Livingston. The popular event is for both men and women with the men doing 6 alternate laps, 3 short (3.1miles) and 3 long (5.8miles) and the women doing 4 alternate laps, 2 short and 2 long both starting with the short lap. Teviotdale had a full mens team competing for the 1st time since 2003 and finished a creditable 33rd in 2:45:35. The race was won for the 1st time by Kilbarchan AAC. Individual times were 1st leg Kyle Potts (44th) 19:33, 2nd leg Rory Anderson (28th) 33:25, 3rd leg Ged Smith (40th) 21:26, 4th leg Stewart Fraser (34th) 35:01, 5th leg Alex Corbett (35th) 21:12, 6th leg Bruce Hughes (33rd) 34:58. It was a tremendous effort by all the lads and great to once again see the Teviotdale colours competing in the national relay championships. A huge thank you to Anne, Lauren, Kirsty and the kids for their noisy support and photos.
