Emily, from Athens in Greece, said, “I didn’t expect to win but it was an amazing experience. The environment at the Emirates Arena was so friendly and chilled.”
Emily, who has been at Strathallan since September, added, “Looking ahead, I’m definitely hunting for a PB and will definitely be competing in the outdoor competitions in Greece this summer. I’m excited to see where Pole Vault can take me.”
Results from all our competitors are as follows:
Jacob H finished 4th and ran a PB in the U16 1500m.
Iona B, Finlay T & Matthew McG all ran PB's in the 200m.

Fionn T finished second in his 300m heat behind Jamie L which sent him as well to the final where he finished 7th.

Also making their sporting debut this term was our Lacrosse team who played Fettes College in their first-ever fixture.
Director of Sport, Jim Thompson, said, “From the first-ever Lacrosse match to record-breaking swimming, we’ve had a fantastic return to sport at Strath this term. It was great to see so many Strathallan athletes competing in the athletics competition in Glasgow. Emily should be proud of her achievement, we can’t wait to see what she does next.”
