After an injury set my season back a month or so I was glad to be out on the track competing today for my first outdoor race of the season.

It went extremely well! I finished 3rd in the Scottish Senior Championships 400mHurdles and clocked a good time also. This was my first ever Senior medal and I was delighted with the time and medal, as was my coach.

Next I have a 400m and a 400m Hurdle race at the Scottish Schools at Grangemouth next week and am thoroughly looking forward to it after a positive start to my season.

The weekend past I took part in my last Scottish Schools Championships, representing St Columba’s (Dunfermline). It went well as I finished 3rd in the 400m with 50.67 (0.3 away from my PB) and I won the 400mHurdles in 55.44.

This was a good weekend to get me geared up for my British championships to take place in Bedford this coming weekend which I am really looking forward to.

This weekend was arguably my best weekend since I started athletics. I finished 4th in the 400m Hurdles at the British Championships. Despite narrowly missing out on a medal by 0.2seconds I ran a huge PB of 53.98 (first run sub 54seconds) which I was very pleased with.

It was a great weekends athletics competing with and watching some of the best young athletes in the world and I thoroughly look forward to next years Championships to go even better.
