Road Bests

In September 2007 the Team Southampton committee decided to re-evaluate the issue of club records. Team Solent and Southampton City AC merged in October 2004 to form Team Southampton and Team Southampton's records were taken to be an amalgamation of the two ancestor club's records. The problem with this is that no accurate records were kept for Southampton City, at least none which can be located as of October 2007, and the result was a very Team Solent biased record sheet. Southampton City did have a number of very notable performances which did begin to be incorporated into the Team Southampton records but this opened a pandora's box of half memories of performances from athletes who may or may not have been a member of Southampton City (or one of its ancestors) when achieving their record.

The agreement was reached to start Team Southampton's records afresh from October 2004, though this would represent a weakening of many of the records it would none the less be fair to both clubs
