Rona plays her part as Scots top table
Rona Tytler was in the thick of the action as Scotland posted an impressive performance in the British and Irish Junior Mountain Running Championships and Home County International.
The Kilbarchan AAC athlete finished overall ninth and third home for Scotland after Rhona Mowat led the girls in an impressive fifth position, followed by Anisha Badial seventh, Tytler ninth and Lynn McKenna 14th.
There was drama elsewhere in the U17 girls race. On the day, England were incorrectly awarded gold medals with Scotland second and Wales third.
After a re-count and some 24 hours later, the Scottish team were promoted to first with Wales second and, crucially it saw England demoted down to third in the overall standings.
This placed Scotland in top spot overall with two team golds and two silvers, out-running England with one team gold, two silvers and one bronze.
A Scottish Athletics spokesman said: “Despite the demanding schedule, all the Scottish athletes were a credit to their national vests on and off the hillls.
“Many thanks are extended to our hosts Ireland for organisation and a special mention to Julie Mollison and Malcolm Patterson at scottishathletics for all their hard work in preparation.
“It really was an outstanding overall performance by the young Scottish athletes.”
