The Scottish National Joint League continues to provide quality track and field competition for Under 17, Under 20, Senior and Masters athletes. The third match for 2024 is on Sunday 30 June at Grangemouth and, once again, we are keen to get a good turnout from Central’s athletes.
The format for 2024 includes league and team competition across the age groups and genders and opportunity to compete in a series of graded events. Central AC will not be involved in other track and field league competition during 2024 for these age groups.
The remaining dates and venues are as follows:-
- Sunday 30 June – Grangemouth
- Sunday 28 July – Aberdeen
The intended timetable for 30 June is in the PDF below – this meeting allows for track competition for 100 Metres, 300 Metres, 400 Metres, 800 Metres, 1500 Metres, Sprint Hurdles, 2000 Metres Steeplechase (Under 18 Women, Under 20 Women, Senior Women) and field competition in Long Jump, High Jump, Shot, Discus and Hammer.
There will be sufficient qualified officials and automatic timing to ensure that performances will be shown on Power of 10 and can be used for international selection.
Central AC are required to provide helpers – three at each match and these personnel can change between morning and afternoon. The names of athletes along with 2022 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 21 June. Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be up to date and will be subject to scrutiny. There are no individual fees for competing as the competing clubs will cover these costs.
Should you be interested in being considered for competition on 30 June, please contact John McDonald by Wednesday 19 June at the latest (mcdonald@johnglenallan.plus.com), with details of preferred event and with any offers of assistance. Late requests for entry are likely to be refused.
This is a great opportunity for some quality competition and to improve your personal bests. Details for the final event in Aberdeen on 28 July will be available shortly before that event.
