Carys McAulay (born 18 January 1998)[1] is a Scottish track and field athlete who competes over 400 metres.

Early life

Scotland-born, and a former Bridgewater High School, Warrington pupil, and Priestley College student, she runs for Warrington Athletics Club.[2]

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] and second for Scotland in the 800m.

McAulay was selected to run for Scotland at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[6] However, she was forced to pull-out with injury as her teammates ran for a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay.[7]

McAulay ran a 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.[8] McAuley was subsequently selected for the Great Britain squad for the 2023 European Indoor Athletics Championships held at the Ataköy Athletics Arena in Istanbul.[9] It was a first British senior selection for McAulay, who competed to the World Juniors in 2015.[10]
