Starting as an athlete with Edinburgh Athletic Club and later competing for ESH a 15-year career from 1972- 1987 saw Anne gaining a Scottish vest in the 4x400 and a bronze medal in the 400 Scottish Championships in 1983, her best season.
Her PB time of 55.19 would still rank her in the top 10 in this year’s Scottish rankings. Anne’ s contribution to athletics both as a team manager and as a coach for the 35 years since retiring as an athlete is legendary.
