Scottish Rankings

Back to the www.scotstats.com site where there are still no rankings for any age group other than the senior men and women, it now has the rankings for ultras on road and track. As a result Aileen Scott joins Pamela McCrossan as a second club member ranked. She is the top woman on the track but there are three who have raced the 24 hours race on the roads at Keswick. She managed a longer distance than the third of them and was not far behind the first two. Bearing in mind that she almost walked for the last 20 minutes after having made the Commonwealth qualifying distance, they should be catchable. We await the publishing of the Junior age groups rankings which should add a bit to the club representation.

A word about the history section of the same website - there was no entry for Clydesdale Harriers initially so I contacted Arnold Black who immediately copied the bit at Cliff Brown's original club website (www.clydesdaleharriers.org.uk) I have sent him something to add to bring it up to date but he has not yet managed to do so. It is an interesting website but is only in its early days and maybe needs a bit more time to cover all that we would wish - if any website can do that!

Finally and on a different topic: I only have seven copies of the most recent book of Clydesdale Harriers which includes the three amigos, Bobby Boyd, Cyril O'Boyle and even me! If anyone is interested, let me know as soon as poss because they have suddenly for some reason unknown to me become fairly popular with some from outwith the club and in recent weeks I have sold copies to members of Aberdeen, Fife and Maryhill for instance!
