Alumnus named Scottish athlete of the year 2019
Former mechanical engineering student Callum Hawkins has been named FPSG Scottish athlete of the year at a recent awards dinner in Glasgow.
“I’m thrilled to win the FPSG athlete of the year award given the competition this year,” said Hawkins, who broke the Scottish marathon record in 2019 and finished just outside the medals in Doha at the IAAF World Championships.
World marathon fourth-placer Hawkins won the award ahead of other shortlisted athletes Laura Muir, Eilish McColgan, Jake Wightman, Jacob Adkin and Andrew Douglas.
