Scottish Masters Outdoor Track & Field Championships 2019 by Mike Clerihew

Scottish Masters Outdoor Track and Field Championships

The main championships were held at Grangemouth on Saturday 13th July and, certainly in terms of best performances, were very successful.  A British Record, six Scottish Masters Best Performances and 23 Championship Best Performances were recorded.

Fred Cowan (Bellahouston) set a new British Record of 96.00s in the M85 400m to add to his recently set indoor record.  Additional Scottish Masters Bests came from James Smith (Motherwell) with 4.00m in the M75 long jump and 31.02s in the 200m, Bobby Stevenson (Ayr Seaforth) with 4.98m in the M65 long jump, John L Scott (Kilbarchan) with 20.64m in the M80 javelin and Jamie Creighton (Liverpool) with 1.85m in the M35 high jump.
