Against some tough competition, Craig was placed recorded a new best distance of 54.40m with the 5KG hammer to finish narrowly outside the medals. The Peebles High pupil has been selected to represent Scotland at the televised Sainsbury’s UK Schools Games in Manchester next month. Before that Craig will attempt to defend his Scottish Championship title in Aberdeen next week.
