Scottish Championships

On a day of mixed weather - warm and sunny, wet, warm, very wet, dull: the usual Scottish summer - the only real Clydesdale Harrier running was Johnathan Farrell in the 100 metres. Drawn in the same Heat as Nick Smith and with only one sure to qualify he was run out of the Final in a time of 11.55 in the heaviest rain of the afternoon. Two men who run for us in the track league were also taking part. Ross Cannon fron West Dunbarton ran in the fastest 400 metres Heat and was timed at 51.47 seconds which was a new personal best taking three tenths from his previous mark. Had he run in the first Heat he would have had fourth place and in the third Heat he would have had third, either of which would have given hm a faster time. Kevin Cornes from Kirkintilloch Oympians ran in the 800 metres where he took the race from the fron right from the gun on ly losing touch with the front three in the final straigh and being a close up fourth in 2:00.9. I think Johnathan is the only one racing tomorrow.
