GOLD & BRONZE AT THE EAST DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS

The resurrected East District Athletic Championships took place at Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh over Saturday and Sunday..
Lothian RC were represented by Max McNeil and Grant Kirkwood and both came away with well earned medals.
A High Jump of 1.45 metres saw Grant take the bronze medal in the Boy’s Under-16 category, he also contested the 100 metres and 200 metres in the same age group, and despite not reaching a podium position he was delighted to record personal bests in both events with a 12.95 in the 100 and a 25.75 in the 200.
In atrocious conditions of wind and rain on the second day of the meeting on Sunday, Max McNeil raced to victory in the Men’s Under-20 5000 metres.
Max covered the windswept 12 and a half laps in a time of 16 minutes 25.22 seconds to take the gold medal.

Grant with his medal.
