An incredible 30 Ayr Seaforth athletes took part in the scottishathletics National Indoor Open this past weekend. This is 3 times the number of athletes who participated in the last edition of this event back in 2023!
Around 20 new PBs were set on Saturday and we had a few young athletes competing for the first time in their chosen events at Emirates. Thank you to the officials for the smooth running of the competition. Athletes and spectators clearly enjoyed themselves.
There were some impressive runs in the middle distance races with Riley Fulton, Eva McColm and Jessica Needham setting big PBs in the 800m. In the 1500m Willow ran very hard to lower her best by almost 9 seconds. Another highlight was Piper Jackson setting a big new PB in the Shot Put with a throw 7.44m.
We look forward now to the national championships to finish off a fantastic indoor season!
Performances have been summarised below. PBs are based on current Power of 10 records. Photos by Bobby Gavin.
