| The Indoor Athletics season got under way at the weekend with the Schools International Pentathlon competition at the Kelvin Hall on Saturday and the first Indoor League meeting, at the same venue on Sunday.
Andrew Cunningham from Gryffe High School, was selected for the Saturday International and Andrew finished top Scot, 8th overall, in the under 16 boys competition. His score of 2772 points is a Kilbarchan club record and Andrew also had the satisfaction of setting 3 Personal Bests, in the 60m Hurdles with a time of 9.55 seconds, the Shot with 13.30m and the 800m timed at 2.21.99s.
