SCOTTISH ATHLETICS RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS, Livingston, March 23
Central AC took the men’s 6-stage title for the third consecutive year, leading all the way after Ben MacMillan’s fastest short stage time of the day on the opening leg. They came home 19 seconds ahead of Giffnock North, who were half-a-minute clear of Corstorphine AAC.
Scottish internationals Annabel Simpson (road and cross-country) and Jenny Selman (track) clocked the fastest long stage times to help Fife to victory in the women’s 4-stage event, although Simpson had to peg back the substantial lead held by Edinburgh AC at the start of the anchor leg.
She eventually came home one-and-a-half minutes ahead of Edinburgh with Shettleston Harriers finishing almost four minutes in arears for bronze.
The meeting entry of 154 teams was the highest since 2019. Results are provisional.
