It was another fine performance by Callum Hawkins last Saturday, competing for Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the European Cross Country Championships in Bulgaria.
Competing in the under 23s race, Callum from Elderslie, took on the might of Europe, making the pace in the wintry conditions, before eventually giving way to the might of the Russian team.
Still a very fine performance to finish 5th in such a major event and Callum was rewarded by the team finishing in 2nd place and winning Silver medals.
