HILL runner Mairi Wallace from Moorfoot has been selected in a team of three to represent Scotland in the WMRA Youth International Cup in Janske Lazne, Czech Republic later this month.
This will be her second national vest having been in the Scotland Under 17 team at last year's Junior Home International when she helped Scotland to team gold.
The June 25 championship is an uphill only race this year over 2.9km.
This year, it's a very strong age-group on the hills in Scotland and Mairi is probably due Laura Stark from Kilbarchan a big thank-you for opting out of the Scotland Youth team as a result of winning the GB U20 trial for the European Junior Championships which take place only one week later.
But the Scotland team still includes the current Scottish cross-country champion Anna MacFadyen and trial winner Grace Whelan.
Mairi will be one of the youngest in the race as she is not 16 until October and will still be eligible for this race in 2017.
