Canadian Ranking

The November ranking lists have been posted on the COF web site (under info for athletes). All A-meets one year back in time are eligible as ranking races, and the the runner's top four results are calculated. Among the men, Mike Smith from Falcons is the top Canadian, but not far behind, despite six months of injury and counting is Mike Waddington. Some strong performances in Florida and Ohio in the spring, and his middle distance result at the COC, have earned him that spot. Second GHOer and 9th on the list is Hans Fransson, but only 10-20 seconds from 6th spot, while Mark Adams is number 12. Our man in Edmonton, Nev French is 31st, and 5th GHOer is Tim Grant, who currently is ranked 37th in Canada. Among the women, not surprisingly, Katta Smith, also from Falcons, is ranked first. Best GHOer is Barb Campbell, who presently is number 25. GHOer number two is Laura Kitowski, ranked 27th.
