Hillbillies put in good performance at Bishop Hill Race

There a strong contingent of Carnegie runners amongst the 180 athletes who took part in Sunday’s Bishop Hill Race from Scotlandwell. The race incorporated the opening event in the 2008 SHR Championships and it was good to see many of our club’s leading hill runners taking part.

Andy Symonds fresh from winning the Mighty Deerstalker adventure race in the Scottish Borders on Saturday excelled again finishing 2nd overall in 18.12. Andrew Wright was also in good form placing 7th in 19.07. Tommy Lawrence in 20th position (20.22) completed the Carnegie team which placed an excellent joint 2nd team with Carnethy on 29 points and only one point behind team winners Shettleston Harriers (28 points).

Sandy Bennet competing in his first race since recovering from injury placed 48th in 22.20 and Kenny MacDonald finished well placing 57th in 23.01.

The race was won by Shettleston’s Jethro Lennox in 17.29.
