Scots speeding towards Glasgow games glory

Scots  speeding  towards Glasgow games  glory

Aberdeen University student Zoey Clark produced an outstanding run on the third leg of the women’s 4x400m relay to help the Scots clock another national record.

Eilidh Child made up for her disappointing run in the individual 400m, in which she finished last, by producing a storming first leg to bring the home side through in the lead.

Diane Ramsay, Clark and Gemma Nicol then held on to take second position in 3:35.27, with Great Britain winning in 3:33.49.

Despite running within the tight confines of the indoor 200m track, the Scots time is within the Commonwealth qualifying standard of 3:36.60.

Clark said: “It’s the most nervous I have been before a race – the crowd was the biggest I have run in front of, but I was really happy with my performance.

“It was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed it. Now I’m looking for- ward to competing at next weekend’s Scottish indoor championships.”

Topping the bill, on what was a day of non-stop excitement, was Laura Muir’s excellent victory in the 800m in which she set a national indoor record of 2min 00.94sec, a time which currently leads this year’s world rankings.

The Dundee Hawkhill Harriers athlete produced a powerful surge over the final 200m to overhaul US’s Chanelle Price. Muir powered clear to claim an impressive victory with a run which now puts her into sixth position on the UK all-time best performers list.

Muir’s display also earned her the Performance of the Day award.

Chris O’Hare was another Scot to shine in front of the capacity crowd.

The US-based Edinburgh runner won a thrilling 1,500m contest, showing real grit and determination to hold on to the lead all the way round the final lap and just held on to take top spot in 3min 48.62sec with Kenya’s James Magut (Commonwealth Select) finishing strongly to take second in 3:48.65 with Britain’s Charlie Grice third in 3:48.69.

Guy Learmonth also claimed a Scottish victory with a powerful finish in the rarely run 600m. The Lasswade runner used his strength to brush off Jeremiah Mutai’s push as the athletes raced to the line, the Scot managing to inch his way to the front in a new national record of 1:16.48.

Britain’s Andrew Osagie faded to finish third in 1:16:86.

Scotland claimed further wins through Libby Clegg who led the way home by clocking a national record of 7.97sec in the T12 para 60m while Stef Reid won the T44 long jump with 4.83m which is just seven centimetres short of her British record.

There was also a Scottish native record from Giffnock North’s David Smith who cleared 2.24m to finish second in the high jump.
