Congratulations to Callum Sloan from Dunfermline who recorded a PB for 100m at the Muller Para-track Grand Prix at Kirkby, Liverpool last weekend. Callum is coached by DSF lead athletics coach Pamela Robson and supported by DSF athletics coach and GOGA in Fife team member, Gayle Sloan.
The Sloan family reported that the event was brilliantly organised by GB Para athletics world champion Hannah Cockcroft plus Nathan Maguire. This was the first Muller Para-track Grand Prix and was also the first event of this type held in the North of England.
There was an amazing mix of athletes from established champions like Sammi Kinghorn, Hannah Cockcroft, Libby Clegg and Richard Chiassaro – to name a few. There were also less experienced British athletes and others who are new to the sport. Callum was delighted to have the opportunity to race against competitors from across the UK.
Callum certainly felt all his training is paying off because he had PBs in 100m (19.6), 400m (78.9) and 800m (2.58).
Callum was happy that this was an excellent way to finish his track season. Next up for Callum is his final race of the season in the Jedburgh 10K at the end of October.
Well done to Callum on yet another year of progress and development.
