Carys McAulay (born 18 January 1998)[1] is a Scottish track and field athlete who competes over 400 metres. She was a bronze medalist at the 2023 British Indoor Championships.
Early life
Scotland-born, and a former Bridgewater High School, Warrington pupil, and Priestley College student, she ran for Warrington Athletics Club.[2]
Career
World Youth Games
She was selected for the 2015 World Youth Championships in Athletics in Cali, Colombia to compete in the 800m.[3][4] She finished fourth for Great Britain in the World Youth Championships in Colombia running a time of 2:53. That year she was also selected for the Youth Commonwealth Games held in Samoa.[5] In Samoa she won a silver medal, finishing second for Scotland in the 800m.[6]
Injury agony
After a change to Trafford Athletics Club, and committing to the shorter 400m distance, McAulay set a new personal best over 400m of 52.86 in Geneva in June 2022 to place third fastest Scot over the distance.[7] McAulay was selected to run for Scotland at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[8] However, she was forced to pull-out with injury as her teammates ran for a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay.[9]
2023: British selection
McAulay ran an indoor personal best 52.98 to finish third at the 2023 British Indoor Athletics Championships in February 2023 in the 400m race, one of ten Scottish medalists at the championships.[10] McAuley was subsequently selected for the Great Britain squad for the 2023 European Indoor Athletics Championships held at the Ataköy Athletics Arena in Istanbul.[11] It was a first British senior selection for McAulay, who competed to the World Juniors in 2015.[12]
