Ross County teenager Caitlyn Heggie wins women's title at Inverness 5k

ROSS County Athletics Club athlete Caitlyn Heggie claimed victory at the Inverness 5K.

The Dingwall Academy pupil tuned up for an appearance for Scotland in the

schools cross country international later this month by taking first spot in the

women’s division of the run in a time of 17 minutes and 30 seconds.

The 15 year-old, who also won the River Ness 5k in Inverness last October, was pleased to go under 18 minutes.

She said: “I’m very pleased as my time is about one minute faster than I ran in the River Ness 5k, so I am really pleased.

"It was a nice way to end the cross country season.

"Now I’m looking forward to representing Scotland for the first time in the schools international in Wales.”
