Caithness teenager Billy Sutherland is celebrating his latest success in endurance running after taking first place in his age group at the Scottish Athletics Inter-District Cross-Country Championships.

As a result of his achievement in Glasgow at the weekend, the 15-year-old from Latheronwheel has earned a Scotland call-up and will compete against athletes from England, Wales and Ireland in Leeds next month.

Billy’s win on Saturday followed on from his triumph in the River Ness 5K last September when he took the men’s title on his debut in the event.
