Scottish Records listed on scotstats.net
Our recent Board meeting has rubber-stamped recommendations from our Records Committee for a number of new marks on the Scottish all-time performance lists.
The following performance were improvements on existing records and were considered by the Records Committee (which is part of the Track and Field Commission and is led by Arnold Black).
The Commission are satisfied that they meet the requirements for recognition as records.
Olympic final performances by Laura Muir and Josh Kerr in Paris both feature here.
Many congratulations to the athletes involved and their families, coaches and the clubs involved in their development over a number of years.
