ENTER now Age Group Champs

Monday 26th January 2015

The National Open on January 17 was a big moment for hundreds of athletes – as many set PBs and SBs at the Emirates Arena.

We were delighted with a record entry of 814 athletes and, thanks to a lot of hard work by a number of people, the event proved a success on a difficult day for travelling. See a 28-minute video highlights package prepared by Edinburgh AC coach, Stephen Ritchie.

There have been some outstanding performances at the Age Group Champs in recent years with Laura Muir one of those to come to the fore via the event.

In 2014, the highlights included double golds from the likes of Ross Maxwell, Elizabeth Musgrove, Cameron Tindle and Tom Chandler in the older age groups and first National Championship medals for Chirnside Chasers athletes in the younger bracket.
