... Clay Shively was just added to my profiles ... I did not
include him initially because he has not run either NXN, Foot Locker or
RunningLane post-season races & he has no speed ratings in the
190s ... However, the speed ratings I have are very good ... and
his Track performances are outstanding ... Hope he runs
post-season XC, because this ranking might be way too low.
