Athlete Meghan Porterfield breaks 33-year Scottish record in fitting end to the season

East Kilbride athlete Meghan Porterfield broke a 33-year-old under-17 record at the School Games National Finals last week, but still reckons she can do better.

It has been a prolific end to the season for the athlete, who only turned 17 on Friday, but has been setting records and winning medals in several recent events.

In the most recent of those, at the UK School Games at Loughborough, Meghan threw a 44.81m pb to beat the Scottish under-17 discus record set in 1989 by Alison Grey, who is now her coach, before winning the competition on Sunday with 44.00m.
