There was an excellent result for Glasgow Jaguars in the Grand Final of the National Athletic League, where they finished runners up in the Plate Final, losing out to City of Sheffield by 14.5 points. This result gave them a 12th place finish in the league and secures their Premiership status for next season. Full results are on Open Track and there is a link to photos on the scottishathletics website with a full report on the match.

Edinburgh Athletic Club athletes, officials, coaches, administrators and team managers have made a huge contribution to the team’s success and they would like to thank the club for their support in allowing them to access this higher level competition opportunity.

Brian Nisbet has coordinated travel and Moira Nisbet has organised officials for the matches and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to them. Edinburgh Athletic Club had 4 officials, selected for Birmingham, a huge honour for the club and they have also given their support to the team this year. Thanks to Moira, Brian, Alastair Aitchison and Marc Ritichie. Moira Maguire, Mike and Sandy Forrest, and Martin Rowe were other club officials to travel to the matches.
The men’s team manager was Keith Ridley and Anne Scott gave support on the women’s side while John Scott’s contribution as a jump’s coach was much appreciated by the athletes.
Anise McAuley Orr was 2nd in the B 800 and contributed to the 2nd place finish of the 4×400 team with a strong run. First leg runner was Emily Craig, Scottish Champion last weekend over 400MH, and a 3rd place finisher in the A 400MH. Carolyn Cameron finished 3rd in the B 1500 and on a busy afternoon won the B 3000. Lauren Stoddart won the A S/chase, contributing valuable points. A busy and successful weekend in Aberdeen for sprinter Stacey Downie had taken the “zip” out of her legs but her contribution to the team with a gutsy 400M was appreciated. Sam McNeil’s run of PB’s came to an end but he was a scorer in both the mens s/chase and 3000 with every point crucial, while Ewan Purves, carrying an injury ran a brave 800M.

Cameron Forbes, who had won the U20 international in Swansea for Scotland placed 3rd in the A High Jump. Kate Harvie’s win in the B High jump contributed further valuable points and there was also a 4th place in the A Triple jump for Kate.
Hopefully next season will offer the opportunity for more EAC U20s and Seniors to compete at this level in the Premier Division of the National Athletics League.
