It is a tremendous honour for Edinburgh Athletic club that we have 9 athletes confirmed today as members of Team Scotland for Glasgow 2014.
They have all been outstanding role models and we have followed their progress from club athletes to the international stage with great pride. We offer them our warmest congratulations and we wish them every success at Hampden.
We offer our commiserations to Freya Murray Ross, who has had to step down as a result of injury and we wish her a speedy recovery.
A number of our athletes were so close with one standard and made a superb effort to try and gain the 2nd mark. This shows as a club what talent we have and praise must go to our dedicated coaches.
