Greenock Glenpark Harrier Simon Okiti has cemented his status at the UK National Athletic League.
Representing Glasgow Jaguar, Okiti competed in the 100m, 200m, and the 4 x 100m sprint relay races at the Commonwealth Games Stadium in Birmingham over the weekend.
Despite a steady start at the 100m, Okiti fired up halfway through, overtaking his rivals in the last 10m, securing a lifetime best of 10.93 seconds.
In the 200m event, his favourite, Okiti was off to a strong start, powering into the bend.
He executed his race strategy smoothly on the final home straight, finishing a tenth of a second outside his previous best.
His last race, the 4 x 100m sprint relay, saw him efficiently manoeuvre the third leg.
Demonstrating confidence on the final bend, he helped position his team among the fastest relay teams nationwide, maintaining a crucial points-scoring stand.
In the coming weeks, Okiti will wind down his competitive season at the Scottish National Championships, further solidifying his reputation as the area's fastest athlete.
