Scotland have new Women’s 4x100m National Record holders!

A fine run in Belfast saw our Class of 2019 quartet clock 45.30 to eclipse the existing Record of 45.37, subject to ratification procedures. The previous Record was set fully 33 years ago back in 1986.

The athletes involved in Northern Ireland last night (L-R in photo) are Chloe Lambert, Alisha Rees, Heather Paton and Katy Wyper. The running order on Thursday night was Paton, Lambert, Wyper and Rees.

Alisha Rees also clocked 11.57 to take the Women’s 100m race

It was an excellent night for Scottish sprinting, in fact, with the Men’s 4x100m team also in good form.

The quartet set a new Track and Meeting Record as they blew the opposition away to run 40.11 thanks to the efforts of Adam Thomas, Michael Olsen, Fraser Angus and Cameron Tindle. The running order on Thursday night was Olsen, Angus, Tindle and Thomas.
