Team Scotland have added four more athletes to its Commonwealth Games squad.
Three marathon runners and a pole vaulter have been tagged on, taking the overall size of the squad to 127, with the number expected to reach 270 by the time the Games start in July.
Freya Ross, 30, has been involved in the sport for two decades since starting out with her club in Lasswade. She represented Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi on the track, but the six-time Scottish cross country champion moved up to marathon – and was Britain’s best female performer at the London 2012 Olympics. She achieved the standard for Glasgow 2014 in Japan last winter.
Hayley Haining, 42, works at the Glasgow University vet school – where fellow athlete Laura Muir is one of her students. Haining represented GB at the 2005 world championships and was then reserve to Paula Radcliffe for the Olympics in 2008. She represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006 and now, eight years later and a mother, returns to the Games team after two marathon runs at 2 hours 36 minutes during 2013,with 2.40 the standard required.
Ross Houston, 34, has been a stalwart and regular medallist in the domestic club running scene for a number of years with Central AC.
He was Scottish marathon champion at Loch Ness and then posted the qualifying time for Glasgow in Frankfurt last October when he ran 2.18.28.
Pole vaulter Gregor Maclean has also had his place on Team Scotland confirmed.
The 21-year-old from Montrose now represents Shaftesbury Barnet and is based in Loughborough. He collected a joint silver medal at the British championships in 2012 but was injured for part of the 2013 season.
He regularly trades Scottish indoor and outdoor pole vault records with his domestic rival and now Team Scotland team-mate, Jax Thoirs.
