Scottish Junior Road Race Championships - East Kilbride 22/03/2009
Laura Penrice (Stewartry AC) finished in 16th place out of 76 finishers in her last race as an Under 13. She was just edged out of 15th place by Sherelle Graham (Shettleston Harriers) and they were both given the same time of 12:08. This was only 5 seconds off a top 10 place although well behind race winner Roisin Bonucchi (Central AC) who finished in 11:28.
Homecountries/SIAB International XC - Bangor 28/03/09
Nicola Hood (VP-Glasgow) was the best D&G performer with 7th place in the Under 20 Home Countries Race. She ran well in 19:23 but will be slightly disappointed to finish 12 seconds behind teammate Josephine Moultrie who was 5th. The race winner was World Junior 1500m bronze medallist Emma Pallant (AFD) in 18:31.
David Vernon (Nithsdale AC) also made the top 10 in the Intermediate Boys race. He was 3rd Scot behind Ross Matheson (Edinburgh AC) and Craig Wellcoat (Law & District). He was 10th in 21:39 but might have liked to have been closer to Matheson who was 3rd in 21:16. The race winner was Tom Curr (Stroud & District) in 20:57.
The other D&G representative was recently crowned National Schools Biathlon Champion, Joanna Muir (Stewartry AC), who was 16th (17:54) in the Intermediate Girls race. She was the youngest competitor in this race and ran in a group of 2 other Scots, Scottish Under 17 Silver Medallist, Emily Dudgeon (Edinburgh AC) and Scottish Schools Bronze Medallist Hollie Young (VP-Glasgow). Nottingham Intercounties victor Emelia Gorecka (AFD) was a clear winner in 16:21.
