Alloa Half -Kilmarnock Standard newspaper report

Athletics: Kilmarnock Harriers ain't half fast at Alloa

SOME 16 Kilmarnock Harriers joined a 1000-strong field taking part in the Alloa half marathon.
Many of the runners were using the race as preparation for forthcoming Fort William and London marathons, and were therefore looking to record good times.

Les McDerment, who is in training for the latter event, destroyed his previous best effort of 1hr 26 by four minutes.  His form suggests that his marathon personal best could also be under review come April 25.
Les’s wife Liz and Ian Goudie also achieved lifetime bests and everyone ran well.

A special mention to Jackie McCulloch who was competing in her second half marathon – a few years after her first.  Jackie finished well inside her target, and with some more hard training should lower this time further before too long.

Full Kilmarnock Harriers times and positions: Leslie McDerment 1:22:30, 52; Connell Drummond 1:24:47, 76; Alan Brydon 1:30:48, 154; Richard Skillen 1:33:41, 196; Harald Bartl 1:33:18, 198; Paula Wilson 1:33:44, 28 (3rd f40); Ian Goudie 1:36:08, 242; Elizabeth McDerment 01:40:04, 356; Brian Darroch 1:42:27, 335; Kate Todd 1:44:42, 460; Joan Graham 1:58:51, 762; Eve McClurg 2:00:41, 786; Ann Minto 2:00:41, 787; Anne Anderson 2:01:49, 807; Jade Minto 2:01:50, 808; Jackie McCulloch 2:04:22, 828.
