On Saturday 19th January 2019 a smaller number than usual of Teviotdale Harriers headed up to Livingston for East District League Race 3 writes Donna Inglis.
With 6 juniors competing it was a case of “quality not quantity” as each performed to the best of their abilities and secured great finishing positions for their club.
