Andy Douglas – 11th place in Bulgaria

Three Scots were with Team GB and NI at the World Mountain Running Champs in Bulgaria.

And there were top 15 finishes in the Senior Men’s and Junior Men’s for Andy Douglas and Euan Gillham, while for Emily Nicholson is was great to experience the Junior Women’s race at a very young age for that category.

Douglas finished in 11^th place and was the first Brit home. Gillham was 13^th in only his second hill run in a number of years, after emphatically winning the trial, and was also the first Brit in the Junior Men’s race.

Pitreavie AAC athlete Nicholson, not yet 17, was 33^rd in her race at Sapareva Banya. The GB and NI Junior Women were fourth in the team race, with the GB and NI Senior Men in fifth place. The Junior Men saw the British team finish seventh.
