Wednesday 2nd July – Brig Bash ’5′, Bridge of Earn
David Simpson in winning form at the Brig Bash 5
Carnegie’s David Simpson was in superb form on Wednesday evening at the Brig Bash 5 in Bridge of Earn. David ran a very fast 25.25 winning the race in a personal best and further improving his own club record for the distance. Scott Bradley enjoyed another strong race finishing 2nd overall in 26.46 (PB) and with Ian Stewart placing 4th (1st M50) in 27.10 the men’s team prize was won by Carnegie with a low scoring 7 points. Well done to Lewis Lawson (6th in 27.41) and Dennis Howett (7th in 28.18) who both finished in the top ten. Several Harriers set personal bests including Alan Cockburn who clocked 30.37 (21st) and John Fulham who was 45th in 32.43. Susan Cederstrom was the leading Carnegie lady timing at 34.59 finishing ahead of Angela Wallace who covered the fast and flat course in 36.53. Marianne Young was the third Carnegie lady home in a time of 37.58. There was an excellent turnout of 26 Carnegie members amongst the 178 finishers. The event was the 9th counter in our Road Running Grand Prix in which Kenny MacDonald (311 points) and Angela Wallace (420 points) are the respective leaders. The 10th event is on Friday 18th July at the Beveridge Park 5K in Kirkcaldy.
