For those of you who have studied the London Marathon website recently - regarding results, you will be aware that club information was patchy to say the least. Therefore, working out club team results for national championships will inevitably take longer than usual.
Great credit, therefore, to Steve Smythe of Athletics Weekly for producing the following provisional list of UK ladies teams (having scanned every athlete to check they were wearing their club vest).
1. Clapham Chasers 8:20:55
2. London Heathside 8:36:43
3. Dulwich 8:48:08
4. Herne Hill 8:48:29
5. Fulham RC 8:52:22
6. Serpentine 8:54:57
7. Charnwood 8:55:55
8. Reading 9:03:24
9. LES CROUPIERS 9:03:53 (TAMARA BEACH 2:45:48; HELEN OLIVER 3:07:51; MARIA ZUBIZARRETA 3:10:14)
10. Bristol & West 9:05:42
Obviously this was a fantastic result - our best for many years.
However, to put it into context, these are our previous best aggregate times for our ladies teams:
1988: Sue Neal 2:57:47; Beccy Richardson 3:01:53; Ruth Collishaw 3:03:25 Total: 9:03:05
1989: Sue Neal 2:50:18; Beccy Richardson 2:50:56; Ruth Collishaw 3:07:31 Total: 8:48:45
1997: Edwina Turner 2:53:01, Liz Clarke 3:03:36; Julie Scholey 3:03:37 Total: 9:00:14
