Athletics: Emma Lowry jumps to victory at the Emirates
The jump is just more than three months too early to rank as a Games qualifier but it puts her joint second with clubmate Jayne Nisbet on the Scottish rankings for 2012 and eighth on the Scottish all-time indoor rankings.
Another clubmate, and Scotland’s top female high jumper of 2012, Emma Nuttall, flew out from Edinburgh on Boxing Day for San Diego to attend a training camp at the splendid US Olympic training centre in Edinburgh’s twin city after a short visit home for Christmas.
