LAURA MUIR polished off her indoor season with victory at the Scottish Universities Championships at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena.
The world 1500m finalist was edged out by Amber Woodrow in the heats of the 800 metres but coasted clear in the final to win in 2:02.46, 11 seconds clear of the field.
Training partner Mhairi Hendry took gold in the 400m with the European junior finalist setting a personal best of 55.90 secs.
While Guy Learmonth continued his unbeaten start to 2016 by winning his 800m in 1.50.20.
Elsewhere, Rio 2016 hopeful Callum Hawkins received another boost in his build-up to April’s London Marathon by taking the BUCS cross-country title with a dominating performance in Gloucester.
Meanwhile European bronze medallist Chris O’Hare made it two wins out of two this winter, coming out trumps in the 1500m at the Armory Invitational in New York. Fellow Scot Lynsey Sharp was third in the 800m behind American rival Ajee Wilson.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
