Scottish Schools Championships
Grangemouth
11th/12th June 2010
Dumfries & Galloway school pupils brought home a remarkable tally of 5 golds and 3 silvers home from the Scottish Schools Championships. Double gold medallists were Stewartry AC duo Kirsty Yates and Kirsten Gair, while Anna Graham of Nithsdale AC took a surprise victory in the Under 14 75m Hurdles. Middle distance stars Joanna Muir, Katy Brown and Laura Penrice took silver.
There was no doubting Kirsty Yates' superiority as the 5th year pupil from Castle Douglas High School took 2 emphatic wins in the Over 17 Shot and 100m Hurdles. Her best performance was in her number 1 event, the Shot Put. She added 4cm to her outdoor PB with a good 12.55m put. This moves her to 8th in the UK Under 20 rankings and 4th in the Under 18 rankings. In the hurdles, she took over a second off her PB with a 16.24 run, giving her victory by just over 2 seconds.
Kirsten Gair also produced two PBs in her events, the 14-15 Discus and Javelin. As Scottish Champion in the event, the Discus victory was expected. Gair threw over 27m for the first time with a PB of 27.30m, giving a 2 metre victory. Her Javelin win was a surprise one but well deserved. She threw a PB of 27.02m to gain victory over pre-event favourite Shannon Eyers (Caithness AAC).
Under 14 Anna Graham was the revelation of the weekend, winning the 75m Hurdles. With a handy wind reading of +1.4m/s, Graham won her heat in a massive new PB of 12.53 (previous best 12.93). The final was a tight affair but Graham once again improved to 12.45 to win by 0.05 seconds. This time puts her into contention for a medal come the Scottish Championships in August.
Comeback kid Katy Brown (Stewartry AC) just lost out on a second national gold medal this year, despite clocking a personal best of 2:16.26 in the 15-17 800m. The Scottish Under 17 Closed Champion lost out in a sprint finish, with Dundee's Iona Brodie taking the win in 2:15.57. Nevertheless, this will be another confidence boost for Brown, who has plagued by injuries in her short career.
Joanna Muir (Stewartry AC) didn't look convincing in her 1500m heat as she finished 3rd behind Olivia O'Hare and Louisa Stewart in 5:07.47. However, she turned it around in the final to finish a clear 2nd behind Stewart (Edinburgh AC). She clocked a season's best of 4:47.45.
Laura Penrice (Stewartry AC) opted to compete in the 14-15 1500m instead of her usual 800m. This paid off as she just lost out to Eilidh Prise of Aberdeen in a fight for the gold medal. The two were clear of 3rd and Penrice dipped under 5 minutes for the 1st time with a PB of 4:58.45. Prise won in 4:57.60.
Fierce rivals Fraser White (Nithsdale AC) and Kieran Saunders (ADAC) ended up in the same heat of the Under 14 800m. Both made it through safely with White 3rd in 2:18.34 and Saunders 4th in 2:18.73. The final was considerably faster, being won in 2:11. White coped better, finishing agonising 4th in a PB of 2:14.79. This was only 0.68 seconds off a medal. Saunders looked tired but finished with a good time of 2:18.70 in 7th.
Saunders returned on Saturday to contest the 1500m. He was impressive in winning his heat in a PB of 4:45.40. The final again was faster and a tired Saunders was 8th in 4:46.20.
Stephanie Lawrie (Nithsdale AC) ran well in her last Scottish Schools Championships. She was 5th in the 1500m with 5:21.28, her fastest time outdoors since 2008. Fellow middle distance runner Chris Ponton (Nithsdale AC) competed in his first ever 3000m. He ran a decent 9:53.14 to finish 10th.
Alison Pringle (ADAC) competed in the Under 14 Shot, Discus and Javelin. She set a PB in the Discus of 14.84m to finish 10th, chucked her 2nd furthest ever Shot of 5.52m to finish 7th and was 9th in the Javelin with 11.42m.
Older sister Jacqueline Pringle (Stewartry AC) jumped her second furthest Long Jump with 4.26m (PB 4.34m) and finished 15th in a large field. She didn't perform as well in her 800m heat with a time outside 2:40.

5th June 2010
Grangemouth
Jacqueline Pringle (Stewartry AC) did extremely well in the Group C Girls Pentathlon. Over the course of the day, she performed consistently close to her PBs and finished a good 10th overall.
The day started off well with 14.66 in the 75m Hurdles (PB 14.6), which was 13th fastest. Next up was the High Jump and the benefits of some extra coaching payed off with a 2cm PB of 1.22m. This was 14th in the Pentathlon.
Another PB followed in the Shot. Pringle finished 9th equal with a put of 6.93m. The second last event of the day was the Long Jump. She couldn't quite manage her PB of 4.34m but jumped a decent 4.11m to finish 8th. The last event was the 800m, which is even more difficult after 4 other events. Pringle performed well to finish in 2:37.64, 4th overall.
All these performances added up to 2017 points, which was a good first effort in multi-eventing for Pringle. She will now turn her attention to the Scottish Schools Championships on 11th and 12th of June.
UK Womens Athletics League Division 2 Match 1
5th June 2010
Wakefield
Kirsty Yates, Kirsty Barr and Jane Scott travelled down to Wakefield to compete for Team Glasgow in the UK Womens League, all three performing well.
Yates' best result came in the Shot, where she putted 12.44m for 2nd behind international heptathlete Phyllis Agbo. This mark was dangerously close to her PB of 12.53m outdoors (12.57m indoors) and looks well under threat. Yates ran a PB in the B string of the 100m Hurdles, clocking 17.35 in her 2nd race over the distance. She was also 2nd in the High Jump B String with 1.45m.
Scott won the Long Jump B String with a good jump of 5.21m, although well down on her recently set PB. She equalled her SB in the High Jump with 1.50m (7th A string) and was 5th in the 100m Hurdles with 16.12 (PB 15.40).
Barr competed in the Long Jump and Triple Jump. In the Long Jump, she was 3rd A string with a jump of 5.28m. The competition was won by Agbo with 6.07m. Barr was 2nd in the Triple Jump with her 2nd furthest jump ever, 10.65m.
These good performances helped Glasgow to achieve 3rd place in a competitive league.

CSSAL Divisions 1 and 3
Central & South Scotland League Div 1 Match 2
Grangemouth
23rd May 2010
Competing for Shettleston Harriers and VP-Glasgow respectively, the Penrice siblings and Jane Scott had a good weekend.
Laura Penrice again looked impressive over 1500m. She won by 8 seconds with a time of 5:02.4, just outside her recent PB (5:01.42). Youngest brother Craig Penrice also won the B race of the Under 11s 800m with a 6 second PB of 2:42.3. Euan Penrice also faired well in the Under 15 1500m. He finished 4th in 5:18.7. His PB is 5:14.
Jane Scott set two new PBs at the weekend and won 1 event and was 2nd in 2 others. PBs came when finishind 2nd in the 100m Hurdles (15.40) and in the 200m (26.60). This 200m time bet her old mark by a second. Scott took victory in the Long Jump, jumping a solid 5.05m.
Central & South Scotland League Div 3 Match 2
Dumfries
23rd May 2010
A home match meant that there was a good turnout for the region's athletes. Nithsdale AC performed well in the team standings, finishing 3rd in the match. This takes them to 4th in the league. Several new PBs were set and the team's grit and determination showed through. The epitome of this was Stephanie Lawrie (Nithsdale AC), who literally dived across the line to win the 200m. She sustained painful cuts and grazes to her elbows and face but battled on to win the Long Jump and finish 2nd in the 1500m.

Loughborough International
Loughborough International
23rd May 2010
Loughborough
Many of the UK's top athletes travelled to Loughborough to take part in the highly rated domestic competition. Nicola Hood (VP-Glasgow) was competing as a guest in the 3000m Steeplechase and rubbed shoulders with some big names including Jessica Ennis, Craig Pickering and Jodie Williams. It was Williams who stole the show with an impressive 22.79 in the 200m. The searing heat and tailwind made it a good day for sprinters but made life more difficult for the endurance athletes. Indeed, the water jump was highly appreciated for the steeplechasers.
But the heat didn't deter Hood too badly as she finished an impressive 2nd in 10:28.29, her 3rd fastest ever and 18 seconds faster than her time here last year. Going into the final water jump, Hood was lying 3rd. In-form Emma Raven was leading clearly from England's Laura Parker, who had a large gap ahead of Hood. However, it ain't over until the fat lady sings and a strong last 150m saw Hood pipping Parker on the line for 2nd place.
