Inverclyde Now Logo ATHLETICS — International Selection For Local Athletes

27 July, 2018 | Local

LOCAL athletes Scott Hannaway and Georgia Morrison have been selected to represent Scotland at the Celtic Games International at Grangemouth at the beginning of August.

They have both been chosen to represent their country over 400 metres in the under-18 age group.

This selection comes after some top performances at Scottish national and UK age group championships and gives them the chance to experience competition against international opposition.

Scott has been a high performer over his favoured distance, the 200 metres. After lowering his 200-metre personal best to under 23 seconds, Scott contested 400 metres as part of his development plan and recorded some of his age group’s fastest times resulting in his second selection for Scotland over the longer sprint.

Georgia has tackled the one-lap sprint from a different angle, lowering her 800-metre lifetime best before testing herself over 400 metres and, similar to Scott, recorded fast performances to secure her first selection to represent her country.
