Victoria Park City of Glasgow AC produced another strong team performance at the third Scottish National Athletics League match of the season at Aberdeen Sports Village, with athletes delivering points across the sprints, hurdles, middle distance, jumps and throws.

VP Glasgow accumulated 358 points, placing the club third in the match, behind Aberdeen AAC and Edinburgh AC. The result also confirmed VP Glasgow in third place overall after the three league matches, with a final total of 1,333.5 points. 

There were particularly encouraging divisional performances. The Senior Women finished second overall with 355 points, while the U18 Men also finished second in their division with 315 points. The Senior Men finished third overall with 375 points. 

Big points from the field events

The club’s highest individual points scorer in Aberdeen was Euan Urquhart, who produced two maximum 20-point performances. Euan threw 15.20m in the shot put and 39.23m in the discus, giving him an outstanding 40 points from his two events. 

Haley Elliot was another major contributor. She took victory in the women’s discus with 38.24m, collecting 20 points, before adding another 18 with 28.47m for second place in the javelin. Her 38-point contribution made her joint second-highest VP scorer of the day. 

There was an excellent double contribution from Hollie McIntyre. Her 27.84m discus earned the maximum 20 points in her age group, and she followed that with 8.19m in the U18 shot, worth another 14 points. 

Anna Cameron also recorded an outright event victory, producing a best jump of 5.78m to win the women’s long jump and collect 20 points. Combined with her 13 points from a 12.84-second 100m, Anna contributed an impressive 33 points. 

Another victory came from Holly Kirkwood, who won the women’s triple jump with an excellent 11.31m, earning the full 20 points. 

Anna Clark showed her versatility by moving from the 800m to the throwing circle and taking second place in the U18 shot with 8.48m, collecting 18 valuable points. Liam McIntyre added 16 points with a 10.68m shot put and also threw 31.94m in the discus. 

One of the most versatile performances of the match came from Dakota Sattar. After running 11.91 in the 100m for 10 points, Dakota switched to the throws, taking 16 points with 33.81m in the discus and another 12 with 31.19m in the javelin. That brought his day’s contribution to an excellent 38 points. 

Strong performances on the track

There was plenty to celebrate on the track too. David Wilson was one of the club’s biggest scorers, collecting 13 points with 23.18 in the 200m and another 16 after running an excellent 50.15 in the 400m, giving him 29 points in total. 

Ivor Scott also contributed 29 points, running 17.60 in the 110m hurdles for 13 points before adding 16 with a 54.18 400m. His fellow hurdler George Scott ran 16.35 for 14 points and followed it with 12.23 in the 100m for another 10, giving George 24 points. 

Corey Donaldson scored in both of his sprint events, taking 13 points with 12.18 in the 100m and 14 with 24.18 in the 200m, for a 27-point contribution. Fraser Blake added another 12 points after clocking 11.98 in the 100m. 

The middle-distance athletes also played their part. Allan Cameron ran 2:12.17 in the 800m, agonisingly just 0.17 seconds outside the 2:12.00 points standard. Anna Clark contested the women’s 800m in 2:41.58 before going on to make her significant points contribution in the shot. 

Aaron MacNeil took on one of the busiest programmes of the VP athletes, representing the club over 100m, 200m and 400m, recording 12.78 in the 100m and 1:00.11 in the 400m as part of a demanding three-event afternoon. 

Across the whole team, 13 different VP Glasgow athletes scored points, with six maximum 20-point performances. Importantly, when the individual scores are added together they account for the club’s full 358-point Match 3 total.

VP Glasgow – Match 3 Individual Points

The Aberdeen match rounded off a strong league campaign for VP Glasgow, with the club finishing third overall, while producing particularly impressive second-place finishes in the Senior Women and U18 Men divisions. Just as importantly, the points came from right across the team, with sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers and throwers all making valuable contributions.
