Team work makes the dream work! We’re delighted Glasgow gal @bethpotter91 stepped into pace Laura at this year’s GAA Miler Meet. Although it can appear an individual sport from the outside we know that the bonds created through athletics run deep and true. So we’d just like to shout out to all our clubs, coaches, training partners, parents and officials. Here’s to the team support ðŸ’ªâ¤ #glasgowathletics #scottishathletics #peoplemakeglasgow #run #jump #throw
