SURREY OUTDOOR TRACK & FIELD RANKINGS - 1961

Click below for other age groups:-
    
     
Select an event:
Junior Men

Please note that these rankings are for those athletes who were in the Junior Men age group in 1961.
We show in brackets after the athlete's name the age group they would have been in if the current age group rules were applied.

(We have been advised by UKA that performances in mixed gender events are not eligible for record purposes nor as qualifying performances for championships.
Therefore we will show such performances in italics with an mx suffix. Please note that this does not apply to the Under-13 Age Groups because there are no records for them.)

Athletes are requested to ensure that their county affiliation is shown correctly on Power of Ten.

NOTES
These rankings are produced from the information held in our rankings database. For each performance we hold the athlete's name and their club. For some athletes we also hold their date of birth which allows us to verify the age group they were in at the time of achieving the performance. For those athletes we are able to create a "Profile" which shows, on one screen, all the performance data we hold for that athlete and this is shown as a link from the athlete's name. At no time do we display the date of birth of any living athlete.
