The performances listed below were improvements on existing records and were considered by the Track and Field Commission.
The Commission are satisfied that they meet the requirements for recognition as records. These were duly ratified at our Board meeting on September 9.
Thanks to scottishathletics Historian, Arnold Black, and the team on our Records Committee for their hard work on these performances.
