An Angus pole vaulter has been selected for the Commonwealth Games.
Four athletes were added to Team Scotland yesterday, among them Gregor MacLean from Montrose.
The 21-year-old is based in Loughborough. He collected a joint silver medal at the British Championships in 2012 but was injured for part of last season.
MacLean regularly trades Scottish indoor and outdoor pole vault records with his domestic rival and now Team Scotland team-mate, Jax Thoirs.
The other three athletes named were all marathon runners Freya Ross, Hayley Haining and Ross Houston.
Team Scotland chef de mission Jon Doig, said: “Many congratulations to the latest four athletes selected for Team Scotland following their nomination by scottish-athletics.
“Like every other athlete awarded a place on the team, Freya, Hayley, Ross and Gregor have clearly demonstrated their ability to meet the selection standards set and have earned the right to compete for Team Scotland.
“We wish them all the very best in their final preparations.”
Nigel Holl, chief executive of scottish-athletics, added: “This is the second wave of team announcements for athletics and I think there’s good evidence that the policy of early selections works in terms of allowing athletes and coaches to prioritise and focus on Glasgow 2014.
“We had 23 named back last September and another four athletes have proved worthy of selection and that has now been endorsed by Commonwealth Games Scotland.
“Behind the selection process of all the athletes announced by Team Scotland lies years and years of hard work, application and determination.
“That’s why it is so exciting for each and every single person when their place is confirmed. All at scottishathletics congratulate the four athletes involved and their coaches, families and clubs.
“In terms of the three marathon runners, Freya, Hayley and Ross have competed regularly over a number of years on the domestic club scene in Scotland. Now they are at the level where they have earned elite level representation for Scotland.
“Well done, too, to Gregor MacLean in pole vault. Gregor hasperformed well over the past couple of years. He had a good season indoors this winter and merited selection.”
Yesterday’s announcement brings the total Team Scotland numbers selected so far to 127, with an anticipated final team size in the region of 270 athletes.
