WATCH: Millburn Academy pupil successfully defends River Ness 5k title in Inverness
Scottish under-15 800 metres record holder Lois Macrae successfully defended her River Ness 5k title in Inverness.
She was the first girl to finish, taking a magnificent second position overall, in a personal best time of 17 minutes and 20 seconds.
It’s the second year in a row that the 14 year-old Millburn Academy student has taken top spot and her time marked another significant improvement on her previous best.
She said: “I’m more than 30 seconds faster than before so I’m really pleased. I think this is at least the fourth time I’ve done this event and it’s so much fun, I really enjoy it."
Macrae will now turn her attention to the cross country season following a successful summer track campaign during which, in addition to her Scottish record, she won the
English 1500 metres title and broke a series of Inverness club records.
Jessica Needs (Aberdeen AAC) was runner-up for the second year in a row and Hayleigh reid (Young Meldrum Runners) took third spot.
