A large contingent of Harriers made their way to Hampden Park on Saturday to compete in the Scottish Schools Track and Field Championships.  The athletes were representing their schools but many of the performances were down to the input and work invested by Club coaches and the dedication of the athletes of course.

The athletes were lucky enough to be some of the first people to compete on Hampdens new athletics arena finished in preparation for the Commonwealth Games.

There is a large selection of photos from the day available on
