The Scottish National Athletics League provides quality track and field competition for Under 17, Under 20, Senior and Masters athletes. The second match of the 2025 season is on Sunday 18 May in Aberdeen and I am keen to get a good turnout from Central’s athletes.
The format for 2025 will include 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 2025 for these age groups.
The remaining dates and venues for 2025 are as follows:-
- Sunday 18 May – Aberdeen
- Sunday 8 June – Grangemouth or Linwood
- Sunday 27 July – Grangemouth or Scotstoun
The intended timetable for 13 April is in the PDF below
This meeting allows for track competition for 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 300m/400m Hurdles, and field competition for Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, Shot Put, Discus and Javelin. 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 could change between morning and afternoon. The names of athletes along with 2023 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 9 May. 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 18 May, please contact John McDonald by Wednesday 7 May at the latest (mcdonald@johnglenallan.plus.com), with details of preferred event and with any offers of assistance. This is a great opportunity for some quality competition and to improve your personal bests, or even try a new event. A similar email will be sent for subsequent events.
Best Regards
John
