Record run by Edinburgh AC trio – but not a national best

A notable run by three Edinburgh AC members at the Scottish Relay Championships in Ayr is expected to be ratified as a Scottish all-comers and championship record after claims to a national best had to be discounted.

Beth Ansell, Margo Wywroll and Kirsty Walker ran 6 mins 43.21 for the 3 x 800 metres to surpass the achievement of a City of Glasgow trio (6:46:71) at Meadowbank in 1992.

However, it later emerged that since one of the trio is German and another English a Scottish native record couldn’t stand.

Nevertheless, there is still much to be proud of for the Capital club representatives.
