Law and District AAC tackle National Cross Country Championships
Law and District Amateur Athletics Club members tackled the Lindsays National Cross Country Relays recently with four teams performing well.
This event is always one of the most popular events in the year across the championship calendar in Scotland and the 2024 edition lived up to that reputation, with over 490 teams competing from throughout Scotland.
Law had four teams taking part, with all athletes thoroughly enjoying the day, especially with the fine weather.
First up were the young women’s teams with three relay runners - U13 Grace Frood, U13 Helena Wotherspoon and U17 Lucy Corns - finishing 43rd of 52 teams, each running a 2.5km leg.
