Scottish Senior Championships

Dunfermline

17th and 18th July 2010



Strong winds limited times but the 5 of the region's athletes competed very well, with Hope Robertson (Edinburgh AC) collecting a silver medal in the 100m.



Hope's time of 12.98 wasn't the quickest but was good considering the -4.8m/s headwind. Hope also competed in the 200m. She won her heat in 25.83 (-3.9m/s) but could only finish 5th in a tough final. She ran 25.70 into a large -4.om/s wind.



Jane Scott (VP-Glasgow) was close to the medals in the 100m Hurdles. She could only manage a time of 17.23 (-3.0) but came in 4th place. She came 5th in the Long Jump with a wind assisted 5.46m.



Kirsty Yates (Stewartry AC) came 5th in the Shot. At the age of 17, it was a good position but she could only manage a throw of 11.77, 80cm away from her personal best.



Kirsty Barr (VP-Glasgow) was another person in 5th place; this time in the Triple Jump. She jumped 10.52m, which was declared as wind assisted due to a faulty wind gauge.



Nicola Hood (VP-Glasgow) qualified comfortably for the 1500m final and did extremely well to finish just outside her personal best. She ran 4:33.90 in horrendous conditions. Her PB is 4:33.45.
