Scottish team named for Glasgow athletics contest

Scottish team named for Glasgow athletics contest

Scotland will take on GB and NI, France and Germany with a youthful team of athletes at the Emirates Arena on Saturday at the Sainsbury’s Glasgow International.

There are a couple of teenagers included in the 22-strong squad, which also features nine athletes who appeared at the Commonwealth Games.

The remaining slots were confirmed following the National Open last weekend with 16-year-old Cameron Tindle of Edinburgh AC winning a place in the men’s 60m and Myles Edwards a run at 1500m.

Aberdeen AAC’s Kelsey Stewart, another teenager, makes the 4 x400m relay squad while Josephine Moultrie steps into the metric mile race at the Emirates.

Guy Learmonth, Jamie Bowie, Kirsten McAslan, Sarah Warnock, Ray Bobrownicki, Diane Ramsay, Greg Louden, Grant Plenderleith and Zoey Clark are the competitors with Glasgow 2014 experience.

The four nation match is a huge opportunity for some young emerging Scottish athletes to gain experience at international level.

Rodger Harkins, the scottishathletics Director of Coaching, said: “It should always be an honour to wear the Scotland vest.

“I see Saturday as a real opportunity for athletes to gain experience at this kind of level. We don’t compete all that often as a Scotland team internationally other than the Commonwealth Games, which of course only comes around once in a four-year cycle.

“So we have to look to take advantage of an event like the Sainsbury’s Glasgow International and see if people can come up with a personal best or a season’s best via the platform of competing against top athletes from big countries like Germany and France.

“Yes, we’ve a couple of teenagers in there but those promising youngsters have merited selection. We’ve also already seen some very good indoor performances by Scottish athletes this winter so that gives some of them something to try and improve on come Saturday.

“For the athletics public in Scotland, I think it is a good opportunity to see people they know from our clubs and from national events competing in an International context. That should be exciting as we take on three strong countries in GB, France and Germany.”
