Ann Murray

Clydesdale Harriers has been lucky to have had many very good club members and in recent years Ann Murray has been such a one. When the club was taking part in the Scottish Women's League in the late 1980's and early 1990's Ann with her friend Lynne Hardware was one of the top senior athletes. She competed mainly in the sprints and long jump although she did some of the other field events and also took part in both relays at one time or another. As an example of her quality, in the first League Match in 1990, she won the A string 100 metres in 13.3 seconds as well as the A string 200 in 27.7 and the B Long Jump with 4.12 metres; in the second match she won the 100 in 13.1, the 200 in 27.7 (again) and the A long jump with 4.85 metres. At both meetings she was a vital part of the relay teams. After a wee break she returned and looked after the Sports Hall Athletics in the Play Drome for the club and her form on the roads and over thc ountry for the past few years has been excellent. Sprinter, coach and now road runner - the message is that if she's near you on the run in at the end of a road race, you haven't much of a chance.
