Scottish Universities Track & Field Championships - 14th April 2012, Grangemouth
Last week's 1500m winners at the Lothian Trials, Chris Ponton and Stephanie Lawrie were both disappointed as they failed to finish their respective 1500m races.
Ponton (Edinburgh AC) was competing as a guest, but struggled after a quick first two laps and couldn't finish. The race was won in 4:02.95. Ponton's best from last season is 4:13. Stephanie Lawrie (Edinburgh University) looked a dead cert for a PB and potentially a medal with 800m completed in the women's race but the Nithsdale athlete dropped out at 1km, despite still being in contention for the silver medal.
Lawrie got over her disappointment with a fine run in the 400m. A strong run saw her set a huge personal best of 64.36, down from 68.3 seconds last year. She finished 4th. Lawrie was also part of the Edinburgh Uni 4x400m team that took gold ahead of Dundee, who had British international steeplechaser Eilish McColgan in their team.
Kirsty Barr (VP-Glasgow) also brought in the points for Edinburgh University. She took gold in the Long Jump (5.35m) and High Jump (1.60m CR), as well as anchoring the 4x100m team to a commanding victory.

Angus Johnstone (Nithsdale AC) was the only D&G competitor, finishing 4th in the 1500m in 5:09.8.
Border Harriers Open Graded Meeting - 15th April 2012, Carlisle
There were several good performances as more athletes made their season debuts.
Katy Brown (Stewartry AC) completed her first 800m since June of last year and ran a solid 2:20.9. Liam Woodman (ADAC) continued his good form by winning the 100m, 200m and shot put, adding a metre onto his PB in the latter. Other impressive performances came from Manon Gillon (Stewartry AC) who set a massive 200m PB and Anna Graham (Nithsdale AC) who won the 80m Hurdles by a wide margin.

Chris Ponton (Edinburgh AC) and Stephanie Lawrie (Nithsdale AC/Edinburgh Uni) both took fine 1500m victories at the Lothian Trials in Edinburgh on the 8th April 2012.

Ponton took victory in 4:17.55 while Lawrie built up a 4 second lead over the last lap to win in 5:00.54, an outdoor personal best.
Hope Robertson (Edinburgh AC) also made a return to racing after almost a year. She finished 4th in the 1st heat of the women's 100m.
