The sun shone on the Shetland Amateur Athletics Club’s Spring Open for the under 9 and under 11 age groups on Saturday.  The event was sponsored by Jamieson’s of Shetland.  Twenty-four youngsters took to the track and field, taking part in a Quadrathlon of events in rotation format.  All athletes took part in all of the events on offer – the 75m sprint, the 600m, the long jump and the shot put.

Shetland AAC Chairwoman Elaine Park commented, “The athletes have been working hard on their events for a few weeks now and to see them out performing and having fun on such a lovely day was great.  These bairns are the future of the sport and to see them smiling all the way was just wonderful.  All of the coaches would like to congratulate the athletes for such a super competition and the committee would like to thank their parents for being so supportive, the officials for giving up their time to provide the opportunity and Jamieson’s of Shetland for their continued support of our home competitions.”
