Whilst Sale Harrier athletes and teams have been doing very well, the club's technical officials have also been recognised by selection for major national events.

Sale Harrier's club Secretary Carol Brown, has been selected for two televised events 1) as a track umpire at the Aviva International in Kelvin Hall, Glasgow on the 28th January and 2) as a track umpire at the Aviva Indoor Grand Prix at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham on the 18th February. She was also appointed to the International Officials Group this year.
Two other club officials, Alison Smythe and Alison Birch have also been appointed to the UKA Age Group Combined Events in Sheffield on the 3/4 March as Timekeeper and Field Judge respectively.
Club Chairman David Brown CBE has been appointed as Chief Starter at the same Aviva Indoor Grand Prix in Birmingham as his wife Carol. He's also been appointed Meeting Manager for the Indoor City Challenge in Sheffield on the 4th February and starter for the National Cross Country at Parliament Hill, London, the most prestigious cross-country Championship in the domestic calendar. David has also recently attained his Level 4 qualification in event management.

Fingers crossed for some of these officials who are awaiting confirmation of important Olympic selections with substantial roles to play at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games later this year.
