Another trophy for middle distance runner Ross
The trophy cabinet at Ross Matheson's home in Tranent is starting to bulge!
The 17-year-old middle distance athlete, competing for Ross High School, picked up yet another championship title when he comfortably won the Scottish Schools O-16 indoor 1500 metres at Kelvin Hall.
After an 'easy' run in his heat where he qualified in second place in 4m31.9s he went on to win the final in 4m5.3sm a full five seconds ahead of his rivals.
Peter Loudon, Preston Lodge High School, won his heat of the O-16 800 metres in 1m59.9s, but had to pull out of the final with an injury.
