Lewis Lawson covered the opening 3.67 mile leg for the ‘A’ team in 20.28 placing 4th. Scottish veteran internationlist Ian Stewart produced a very strong run to bring Carnegie into the lead at halfway clocking 19.55 on Leg 2. Tommy Lawrence covered the penultimate leg in a fast 19.28 and Andrew Wright ensured team success for Carnegie clocking 18.43 bringing the Harriers home in first position. Carnegie’s ‘B’ team were also in great form placing 4th overall.

Stevie Ogg covered leg three in 21.15 (3rd) and John Lambie clocked 20.49 as the team placed 4th overall. Steven King showed no adverse effects from Saturday’s Devils Burden Hill Relay as he covered leg one for the ‘C’ team in 21.26 placing 8th. Peter Morrison clocked 25.49 on leg two (18th), Malcolm Smith timed at 25.09 (17th) on leg three and Mark Johnstone covered leg four in 25.37.
