Harriers strike Gold at the East District Championships
Congratulations to our men’s team who won Gold medals by placing 1st Masters (aged 35 and over) team at Saturday’s East District Cross Country Championships in Livingston. Carnegie’s winning team featured Andrew Wright who finished 29th overall and 2nd M35 in 35.08, Tommy Lawrence who was 42nd overall and 5th M35 in 35.56 and Ian Stewart who was 43rd and leading M50 in 35.59. This superb result completes an excellent year for our men who also won the Scottish Veteran Harriers Road Relay and Scottish National Cross Country Relay Masters titles earlier this year. Carnegie fielded 25 men and 11 ladies in the senior events at the East District Championships which were held in Livingston and Sandy MacDonald represented our club in the Under 13 boys race where he placed 38th in 15.44. The senior men’s race involves three laps of a soft underfoot course over grassland and woodland trails. Andy Symonds enjoyed a very strong run placing 9th overall in the field of 231 athletes covering the six mile course in 33.36. Andy was then followed home by Andrew Wright (29th in 35.08), Tommy Lawrence (42nd in 35.56), Ian Stewart (43rd in 35.59), Lewis Lawson (57th in 37.10) and Allan Fotheringham (61st in 37.15) and our men’s senior team with six to count finished 5th overall with 241 points. Fabienne Thompson was our leading lady covering her two laps (4 miles) in 28.16 placing 32nd overall. Isobel Burnett’s excellent form continued as she finished 28th and 2nd F50 in 28.30. Kirsty Baird clocked 29.21 (51st) and Gail Murdoch was 59th in 30.12 and our Carnegie ladies placed 7th team overall. Well done to everyone who took part and all the results have now been posted along with the Cross Country Grand Prix being updated.
