Scottish Athletics added four new races this year for the U15 and U17 age groups running 2k and 3k respectively. First race was the U15 girls and the Pitreavie girls Leah Davie, Emily Nicolson and Sophie Nethery all ran strongly finishing 5th, 12th and 16th and picked up silver medals for the team – fantastic achievement – well done girls!
Pitreavie U15 boys were next up and James Adam, Tyler White, Dylan Thomson and Andrew McNair also had strong runs finishing 19th, 23rd, 44th and 46th respectively. The team overall were placed 6th.
Ben Potrykus, Scott McAlpine and Jack Lawrie were next up and all had a great race finishing 41st, 85th, 152nd out of a field of 204 runners.
Well done to all Pitreavie athletes competing over the last few weeks – we have had five weeks of competitions in a row but now have a well deserved weekend rest to recharge the batteries ready for the 2nd East league meeting in Alloa on 23rd.
Also remember if you want to be entered into the East District XC Champs on 7th December Sandra and Kenny need to know by Tuesday 19th November.
