Scottish Inter District Cross Country Championships

A big congratulations to Connor MacLean S3 who had an outstanding run at the Inter District Cross Country Championships in Edinburgh last Saturday. Connor was running in the u15 race for the North of Scotland. The race involves the best athletes from each district in Scotland with the North, West and East teams all involved. This race is traditionally very fast on a normally firm course but this year the athletes were faced with high winds and soft underfoot conditions making it tough going. Connor finished in 10th position which was a great performance at this level. The race was very close with Connor only being 8 seconds away  from 4th place. This race is a good warm up for Connor for the Scottish National Championships in Falkirk on 18/2/12 and if this race is anything to go by, every second will definitely count.
