Camperdown Needs You....

Sunday, 25th March - Camperdown Park, Dundee; Jenny Wood Allan Races & Sport Relief Mile
The organising committee are looking for volunteers to help on the day with stewarding, marshalling, goody bags etc and have asked Dundee Hawkhill Harriers for help.  Can you help? Depending on what you end up doing, you'd be required from about 9am until early afternoon. Any volunteers under the age of 16 would require to be with a responsible adult on the day. Obviously, some tasks will be suited to youngsters but not others. If you can volunteer to help out on Sunday 25th March, please get in touch with me as soon as possible, thanks.
Phil Forte (Secretary)
 

The Ben

Six hawks have been included in the provisional start list for this years Ben Nevis Hill Race. They'll be doing well compete with the host club, Lochaber, who have more than 80 members entered.  There can't be many in that club not participating. See you in September.

 

 

6 minute wonders

For anyone with 10 minutes of spare time, you can re-live the joys of the Carnethy 5 earlier this month. I spotted at least 3 Hawks and one of them looked like he was  walking...imagine that !

More podium places

Indoor Athletics - DC has reported that there was another medal for a Hawks athlete. Susan Young won her heat of the Women's 400m in 59.18 only just outside her personal best set 2 weeks ago, and was 3rd in the final to take the bronze medal in a new pb of 58.57. Good Job...(& apologies for omitting another good result from the Kelvin Hall event).
 

Laura's Flying

Laura Muir is flying. Definition - flying [ˈflaɪɪŋ] adj 1. (prenominal) hurried; fleeting: fast action; moving or passing quickly on or as if on wings. athletics jargon; being on top form.  

This report, hot off the Scottish Athletics Site.

...Laura completed a golden weekend in astonishing fashion at the Scottish National Senior Indoor championships in Glasgow when she 'smashed' a 30 year old Scottish junior record in the process as she claimed the 800 metres senior women’s title.   Muir, remarkably, had won the scottishathletics Under-20 women’s cross country title at Falkirk the previous day.  Vet student Laura triumphed over 4.8k at Callendar Park and then proved her versatility to hold off Kathryn Evans in Glasgow and take a junior record set in Cosford in February 1982 by Linsey Macdonald. Muir ran 2:08:12 at the Kelvin Hall with Macdonald’s 2:08:40 having stood as the best Scottish junior mark indoors since February 20 1982.  ‘It is a thrill to win the senior women’s 800 and also to take that record,’ grinned Muir later. ‘That was a bit of a target but I didn’t actually decide to take part at Kelvin Hall until after the cross country at Falkirk. ‘I was entered, of course, but we thought it best to wait and see how I felt later on Saturday. I am glad we came along here now!  ‘It has been a great weekend for me but it was a tough race because Kathryn was right on my shoulder for the last two laps. I should thank her for helping me set that time.’
