either way - great to see.
What makes Wightman a great Scottish runner is being born in the middle of England with an English father and a Welsh mother.
Edinburgh Athletic Club has to take some credit for Kerr, O’hare, Wightman, and Sharp. I think there is also the fact that success breeds more success. O’Hare and Muir helped set the tone for the rest to believe.

Off putting to who??? Track people critique too much.
Kerr is a grotpig and wanker. Would be nothing without super shoes. Very satisfying to see him loose. The hubris is too much.
looks like an exciting 2023 for mens 1500m.
Coscoran took both the Irish Outdoor (3:33.5) and indoor (3:35.4) national records from Ray Flynn (from 1982!) and Marcus O'Sullivan. Big breakthrough.

Success breeds success? It isn't a massive sport here in Scotland but it is popular and there are a lot of dedicated volunteers so youngsters can do the sport for basically minimal cost and either make it a family event or go through their club and go along with their friends to races. Clubs hire transport to go to cross country and track meets for example. The cost is negligible. Theres often no selection at junior level - if you want to run, you can run. Theres also relatively little pressure on young athletes.
Track sessions are hard but mileage isn't too high at junior and young senior level.
Weather conditions are often tough. There often aren't any good tracks to train on in some areas.
Physically, a lot of Scottish youngsters (they're not all fat) are naturally skinny with long legs, no matter how tall they are. Increasingly, there are a lot of tall youngsters with narrow hips but strong legs. But not ridiculously tall.
Not a flat country so many have some experience of hillwalking and mountain hiking even when very young.
Variety of sports on offer in the schools.
