Scottish Women's Athletics League

SWAL Match 1 - 19th April 2009 Grangemouth

Hope Robertson and Jane Scott competed at this league meeting for Edinburgh AC and Lothian respectively.

Hope continued her winning form in the sprints by taking victories in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay. In the 100m, she ran in the Senior B race and won with ease 12.57. This equalled her season's best and, with a wind reading of -0.3, shows that there's more to come. Next came the 200m, where Hope won the A race by 0.5 seconds from Dundee Hawkhill's Maria Thomas. Her time was 25.5 with a +0.9 wind.

Jane was 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Long Jump, 100m Hurdles and Triple Jump in respect. In the Long Jump, she jumped 5.26m, just 6cm off her personal best. With an -0.4 wind and after a series of 5m+ jumps early this season, that PB looks set to go. There was also a SB in the 100m Hurdles, where Jane was 3rd with 15.6, a big improvement on her earlier SB of 17.07. Finally in the Triple Jump, Jane hopped, skipped and jumped to 10.30m, finishing 4th.
