Law AAC crown stars of 2020
Law and District Athletes have been recognised for their outstanding achievements in 2020.
In what has been an incredible difficult year, club stars still put in a host of top displays before and during lockdown, be it organised events before the pandemic struck or ‘virtual’ races that have taken place since.
The annual awards night in normally held in November at Cambusnethan Miners Club, however this wasn’t possible and the club held the prizegiving via virtual Zoom presentation earlier this month instead.
They had 60 logins to the meeting there was a lot of interaction between the award presenters, coaches and athletes.
Prizes were announced for their club championship cross country 2019/2020 events and 2020 road races.
Pre-determined track and field awards and special / pre-determined awards were also announced.

Richard had plans to run 40 races before the end of 2020. A global pandemic might have led to multiple cancellations but it didn’t stop him from running 3 full virtual marathons alongside other challenges.
So far Richard has raised £2,297.58 before gift aid for his three chosen charities (guide dogs, children with cancer & Law AAC).
Tehillah set two new U13 girls Scottish National indoor records on her way to winning both 60m and 200m national indoor titles in 2020.
Owen won the 60m indoor under 13 national at Emirates Arena title prior to lockdown.
U13 Ross is in our throws squad and joined in a number of virtual events for throws during 2020 as well as building up his running to complete a 10km and smashing his fund raising target for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.
The 17-year-old old club athlete travelled over to Shotts for over a year to assist coaches at their mini athletic club at Calderhead High School and throughout 2020, assisted with coaching in the U15 squad at the Wishaw track,.
